In autumn that year,

a research trip
for my novel

took me to Shiretoko Peninsula,
the easternmost tip of Hokkaido.

Can you see?

- That's Kunashiri Island.
- Oh, that's it.

The media's making a fuss
over its occupation.

- But it's quiet here.
- Indeed it is.

| don't know this area,
so I appreciate your guiding me.

Not at all. I've been a fan
of your novels for some time.

- I always wanted to meet you.
- Thank you.

- This is a great opportunity.
- Thank you.

Where are we going today?

We'll go to Point Pekin,
to see the luminous moss.

Luminous moss?

So, this road was
built after the last war?

That's right.

Only small boats could
go further than this.

This is our National Treasure.

Until the last war,
the sea came up to here.

Is that s0?

Until 5,000 years ago,
in the mid-Jomon Period,

many people lived here.

The luminous moss

grows inside this cave,

but I can't see any.

- Can you?
-No, I can't.

That's strange.

There, I see it.

Where is it?

You can see it from this angle.

Yes, only from a certain angle.

| can see the illumination

only when I don't look at it.

Thank you.

It really is quiet here.

Perhaps it's the season.

Now is the quietest
time of the year.

But winter's very severe here.

The drift ice used to cut off
access to that cave.

There was a strange atmosphere
in that cave.

It's not that the moss emits light,

but rather, the moss itself
becomes the light.

Instead of emitting light,

it seemed to draw light
into itself.

I've never seen a cave like that.

As a matter of fact,

| always wanted to
take you there.

Why is that?

This is a history of Rausu.

It includes a summary of
an incident. Have a look.

It occurred on the morning
of December 3rd, 1943,

A fleet of six ships
from the Merchant Marine...

left Nemuro for the
port of Otaru.

While the fleet was passing Rausu,

It ran into a blizzard.

But it was determined
to accomplish its mission,

and continued its journey
to Cape Shiretoko.

However, the Seishin Maru V,
the ship in question,

suddenly experienced
engine trouble,

and was wrecked off
Point Pekin.

One of the crew tied a rope
around himself,

jumped into the sea and
swam to Tengu Rock.

So the Captain and other crew
also made it to the shore.

Of course, I don't know

how they lived in the cave
for the next three months.

The only crewman who made
it back to Rausu

was the Captain of the ship.

He left the cave and
crossed over the drift ice.

He said he'd gambled
his life on it.

Quite incredible, wasn't he?

At last, he found his way
to a fisherman's house

in the village of Rusha,
21 kilometres north of Rausu.

It was during the war,

so the Captain's actions
were considered heroic,

and the whole village
was told about It.

Our heroic Captain!

You had a courageous
narrow escape

from the freezing battlefield
of the northern sea.

We, the pupils of
Rausu National School,

praise your heroic deed,
and are inspired

to work harder for our country,

and for the sake of
His Majesty the Emperor.

Banzai!

Banzai!

- Banzail
- Banzai!

- Banzai!
- Banzai!

The Merchant Marine
sent out a search party,

but the bad weather
made it difficult.

They only managed to recover
three bodies from the sea,

and then the search was
called off.

However,

in summer that year...

The Captain openly admitted

that they were the bones
of a crewman called Nishikawa.

So, of the seven men, only you
and Nishikawa got to the cave.

Is that right?

And how did you survive
once you made it to the cave?

| suspect that the Captain
lied to the police.

- Why's that?
- There's one thing.

Although he said they survived
by catching seals for food,

from December to February,
seals don't come to this area.

Furthermore,

| suspect that the Captain
killed Nishikawa to eat him.

Unless one thinks that way,
it doesn't make sense.

| see.

By the way, why did
you tell me this story?

Actually, I wrote this history
of Rausu on my return

from the POW. Camp in Siberia.

As my research into
the incident continued,

- I became rather perplexed.
- Perplexed?

Because of my experience
in Siberia,

| began to empathise
with the Captain.

- Which part of Siberia were you in?
- Well.

| felled trees for three years
near Taishet. Please.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Hey!

| became fascinated

by the headmaster's pursuit
of the story over so many years.

It seemed as if

the Captain's spirit from
over 40 years ago

possessed the headmaster.

And now, that same spirit,

was speaking to me
through the headmaster.

What did happen to the
crew that drifted ashore

to the cave on Point Pekin?

What did the Captain think
in that cave and what did he do?

| pondered these questions
as the night slipped away.

Hey!

Take off all your clothes,

or you'll freeze to death.

Hurry up!

Captain!

Courage, Gosuke!

Gosuke!
Keep up your spirit!

We're here.

Near Point Pekin.

Rausu is 40 kilometres away.

We can't possibly walk
back there.

| wonder

if we're the only ones
to suffer this fate.

After all,
there were six ships.

Ours couldn't have been
the only one wrecked.

If we are the only ones
who ended up like this,

that's too unfair, isn't it?

Perhaps we are the only ones.

In that case, it's hopeless.

- It's hopeless in any case.
- Right.

- We're hungry in any case.
- Right.

We're hungry in any case.

Nishikawa, you're working hard.

Hey, Nishikawa.
Nishikawa!

Making a harpoon head with
seal bones is a very clever idea.

But what do you mean
to catch with that?

Seals and fish don't come
anywhere near the beach.

I'm dizzy from hunger
without doing anything.

How can you do such fine work,
knowing it's all useless?

Nishikawa/

Hurry up and finish the harpoon.

- And feed me with a whale!
- Just leave him alone.

Whatever we do, there's no way
we can survive.

Right.

Without food,

people die.

- It's always like that.
- Stop that!

It's no use complaining.

Look at our Captain.
He never utters a word of complaint.

Don't you remember that
we're on a mission?

Listen.

Don't you realise we have
a duty to the army?

Yeah...
Duty to the army.

Why don't you live up to it?!

- How can you fulfil your duty?!
- Hey, Nishikawa

You sound gallant,
but you're wobbly on your legs.

| would persevere
in the sacred war.

If only I could,
| would persevere any time.

Yeah, you talk like our
Fleet Commander.

But, Nishikawa.

Even if the Commander or the General
was here, what could they do?

We don't belong to
the Commander,

we belong to the Emperor!

The Emperor?
What about him?

Wouldn't he feel hunger
when he's starving?

Bring the Emperor
to this cave, if you can.

Gosuke.

Don't be so cruel.
What would you do with him?

Bring him here.

And keep him here,
10 or 20 days.

Bastard!

- Come here!
- Nishikawa!

Hey, stop that.

If you don't stop,
you'll both die.

| don't think Gosuke or |
did anything

to upset Nishikawa so much.

We're only saying, we'll get
hungry if we don't eat.

- That upset him.
- Then what can I say?

You must say you won't starve
or die, even if you don't eat.

| don't like lying.

It's painful to
lie all the time.

Well, what can I talk about?

Have you eaten a dish
that the Ainu cook?

It's called fuibe.
Fuibe...

They cut a seal,

take out its insides.

The stomach, the liver,
the lungs and all.

- And chop them up very finely.
- Idiot!

And put them in a pot.

The whiskers.

The brains, too.
And stir the pot.

Eat this, Gosuke.
Eat it.

It's yummy
Eat!

There's nothing in the
world so yummy,

That's right.

- There's nothing so yummy:.
- Eat, Nishikawa.

Nishikawa, stop sulking and eat.

It's yummy!

- Gosuke, what's wrong?
- Gosuke.

- Does your stomach hurt?
- Be strong!

Is the pain really bad?

It can't be!

You're not going to die,
are you?

Something's wrong with him.

- Is he all right?
- Don't worry.

Serves him right for swallowing
sea water. He won't die.

| won't die yet.

That's what I just said.
You won't die yet.

Then, when am I going to die?

How would I know that?

But you won't die yet.

Not today.

- Will I die tomorrow?
- Gosuke.

When you die, we'll all die.

Be strong and endure the pain.

Nishikawa's right.

You won't be the only one
who's going to die.

| don't want to die!

Right. If we died in a place like this,
it'd be a waste.

| don't want to die in war, either!

Don't worry, Gosuke.

We're safe from the war
in this place.

There's no enemy around
here to kill us.

| don't... I don't...

want to die with you, either.

Then,

we don't have to die together.

We'll die separately.

We'll die one by one.

Perhaps you're right.

Who's going to die first?

You!

Why don't you speak?

| know why!
I'I be the first!

| don't want to be
the first one to die.

| don't want to die first.

- Do you know why?
- Gosuke!

| don't want to hear about
your reasons.

Nishikawa.

Let's try the shack again.

We might find something else.

They found a fisherman's shack
the night they got ashore.

The fishermen stayed in the shack,

and collected sea-urchins in
spring and kelp in summer.

But in winter the shack was left empty.

If there hadn't been a box of
matches on the altar,

they'd have frozen to death
at once.

There's something here.

Wait, wait.

Good.

Kelp!

Nishikawa.

What're you doing?

Nothing else?

Hachizo?

Hachizo, are you there?

I'm here, Gosuke.

Calm down and sleep.

If you sleep, you'll feel better.

Hachizo...

The reason why I don't
want to die

is because

| don't want my body
to be eaten.

What? Eat you?!

You mean me, eat you?

Never!

Damn it!

We aren't bears or wolves.

Stop thinking such
revolting things.

Will you...

promise you won't eat me
after I die?

| promise.
We're from the same village.

And we were on the same boat.
How could I eat you?

Would you eat...

someone who wasn't from the
same village or boat?

Stop that talk.

| don't want to hear about
such things.

Gosuke... I'm...

just going to the beach.

Wait there.

You won't do anything rash,
will you?

Hachizo!

Wait for me.

Take me to the beach, too.

This is it.

The drift ice has come.

Until the ice disappears,
we're stuck here.

If we try to move,
we'll die.

What shall we do?

Do you still refuse?

If you refuse, you'll be

branded a coward.

No.

I'm not a coward.
But...

| won't eat human flesh.

To eat human flesh...

- Is shameful.
- Why?

Why is it shameful?

Well, if you refuse,
that's fine.

| don't intend to order
you to eat it.

I'm only saying this to you
because I don't want you to die.

Captain.

- I don't mind dying.
- [ understand you very well.

But...

If we just let time pass,

we'll die for nothing.

Nishikawa.

Don't you want to die in war as a hero
and be decorated for bravery?

You haven't forgotten our
duty as mariners?

| haven't forgotten.

Then how could you starve to death...

without ever getting on board and
working for the nation again?

Even a lazy man or a coward
can do that.

Once you eat human flesh,
you won't be a normal man.

That's what you're scared of.

You're scared of people saying
you survived on human flesh.

So you're talking about that.

We should hurry and put
his body into the sea.

Hachizo, aren't you shocked
to hear such talk?

I'd like to be shocked,
but [ can't be.

| can't understand why
I'm not shocked.

But I'm not.

Then, were you also thinking
about eating his body?

It's not that I was thinking
about it.

It's just, the thought came
into my mind.

It's too bad the thought
came into my mind.

Once it did come,
it wouldn't go away.

Let's put his body into the sea.

| won't allow that.

Shouldn't we perform
a service for him?

We can perform a service anytime.

| wonder if I've heard of a service
in which they eat the body.

Let us all think hard about it

before putting his body into the sea.

If we think about it, we can't
help going back at it.

All' we think about is food,

yet the only food we have
is Gosuke.

Are you...

really against eating
Gosuke's flesh?

| really..

Don't want to eat Gosuke.

But

| sometimes feel like

eating all the flesh over there.

Captain, let's put him in the sea.

| can't allow that.

I'm your Captain.

I'm saying this for your sake.

We're not cannibals.
We are decent Japanese men.

Of course...

it's natural that we don't want to eat
the flesh of our own kind.

So why don't we try and see

how long we can keep our
human feelings?

Let's wait and see how long
we can stick to it.

No. It's not good to wait.

All right.
Let's wait two days.

After two days,
we'll put Gosuke in the sea.

If we wait for two days,

we won't be able to move.

Then let's just wait one day.

Right?
Until tomorrow night.

Hey, I remembered something.

We should bring the timber
from the shack we pulled down.

We won't be able to move
ourselves pretty soon.

Let's go.

Nishikawa.

Come here.

Strip off his clothes.

Are we having a feast tonight?

Dad's going to Otaru tomorrow.

Dad's going to Otaru.

We're carrying army supplies
to Otaru.

The sea will be rough tomorrow.

Don't worry, Grandpa.

Yasutaka.

Stop crying.

Your daddy will come back soon.

Come here and eat your meal.

Hey, give me some light.

It's very tough.

Here, eat this.

| understand.

Eating human flesh is a
painful thing to do.

But you didn't eat it.

Well...

Before Gosuke died,
| promised him I wouldn't.

If I hadn't made that promise,

| too would have eaten him.

Why...?

Why did I eat him?

You did it out of
loyalty to the Emperor.

| did it for my own sake.

Listen.

It wasn't your fault.

You had to do it
because you were hungry.

It's not a crime,

if you ate it because
you were starving.

Hachizo.

Do you think the Captain
is a bad man?

In both a good and
a bad sense,

he is a resourceful man.

Even now, perhaps,
he's calculating when [I die.

And when I'm dead,

you'll both survive on me.

He's probably calculating
how long I'll last.

Is that what he's...?

That's not all.

He'll be thinking

about what will happen

after I've been eaten.

Nishikawa, will you

just stand up?

Stand up.

Here I am.

Stand a little further back.

Further back.

Well?

Move further inside the cave.

It's terrifying!

What's terrifying?

Behind your head

| can see a ring of light.

|can't see it.

| can see it very well.

It's an illusion.

It's not.

There's an old saying,

that if one eats human flesh,

a ring of light appears
behind one's head.

And that the light

is similar to the glow

of luminous moss.

It's an illusion.

An illusion!

It's an illusion.
Just an illusion.

An illusion...

Can you still see it?

Can you see it?!

Hey, can you see it?

No.

| can't see it anymore.

See?

It was an illusion.

No, it wasn't.

The ring of light

is not something that can
be seen easily.

One can see it

only from a certain angle,
and for a short time.

And only when one tries
to see it.

| don't like this!

| don't like this, I don't like this!
| don't want it!

Nishikawa.

There's no need to worry.

Nobody can see it except me.

Only [ can see it.

And I am going to die
very soon.

No, please don't die.
Don't die.

You mustn't die.

Hachizo, I beg you.

Please don't die, Hachizo.

| beg you, please don't die.

Captain!

Hachizo's dying.

If we don't do something,
he'll die.

He won't eat Gosuke's flesh,

so we can't help him.

One of us is dying!
Don't you feel anything?

Even if I did,

that wouldn't save his life.

You... you're waiting...

for Hachizo to die,
$0 you can eat his body.

He'll die soon, whether
| wait for him to die or not.

Those who are going to die
will die anyway,

and those who'll survive
have to survive at any cost.

- As long as you can eat...
- What?

As long as you can eat
to survive,

you don't mind who dies,
do you?

I'm not a devil.

Nobody would want to
eat human flesh.

If it wasn't for Gosuke dying,

you and I might have
been dead by now.

No one asked him to die.

He died of his own accord.

He died

so you and I ate flesh
from his body.

Whatever way you look at it,

that's all there is to it.

| won't hide the fact.

If Hachizo dies,

| may eat his flesh as well.

You'll probably eat it, too.

| don't like that.

- I don't like that.
- Neither do I.

Neither of us would like it,

but we don't have a choice.

| don't like that.
| just don't like that!

Hey, Nishikawa.

Today's New Year's Eve.

Hang on until the drift ice
breaks up.

Nishikawa!

Where are you going?

The bell...

Me, too.

I'm going to toll the bell, too.

Thus, a month passed.

The flesh from Hachizo's body
had all gone,

and the cold intensified.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

You know,

I'm scared of living,
and of dying.

That's only because you think
you're scared.

Aren't you scared?

| only want to get out of here.
| don't think of anything else.

We'll never get out of here.

Even if we did,
we're damned.

Nishikawa.

You resent me, don't you?

You're forced to eat
human flesh.

And there's more...

You're scared that I'll kill you and
eat your body afterwards.

- That's right.
- I see.

So you can't sleep,
even if you want to, right?

Why don't you kill me?

You should kill me and eat
the flesh from my body.

| won't kill you.

| don't need to kill you,

you'll die anyway.

It won't be long now.

Nishikawa!

Drink this.

Captain...

Aren't you...

scared of yourself?

| want...

to know how you feel,
in yourself?

I'm enduring, you see.

You may not know why
you have to endure,

but you endure it.

If I don't know why;
| can't endure.

Same here.

I've no idea what I'm enduring,

yet I'm still enduring.

| know...

that you know exactly
what you're enduring.

That's enough.

You keep enduring,

and go to sleep.

You... you won't eat me!

Are you going to kill me?

| don't... want you...

to eat me!

Even if I die,

you won't eat me!

If you die,

I'm going to eat you anyway.

Do you...

really mean to get out of here?

I'd rather the sharks got me,

than have you eat me!

Why?

Why do you say such
a terrible thing?

You... I thought you were
a good man.

Nishikawa/

Just wait.

It would be such a waste.

Here, drink this.

But, Nishikawa,

do you know why you're
suffering so much?

Is it because you're cold?
Or is it because...

you ate the flesh of
your own kind?

Or is it because we
can't escape from here?

No.

You don't know yourself.

You're suffering from all
those things at once.

You don't really know...

why you're suffering.

And I'm the same.

Remove him from the court.

Order!

According to the Defence,

necessity drove the accused
to eat human flesh.

| dispute that claim.

Under the same circumstances,

Gosuke and Hachizo chose death
rather than eat human flesh.

As for Nishikawa,
although he ate with the Captain,

he was attempting suicide out of
shame when the Captain killed him.

Each of the three victims,
though to different degrees,

expressed human emotion
and human suffering.

Yet the accused survived without
any remorse or suffering.

Even after the crime was exposed,

he has shown no sense
of remorse.

His abnormal behaviour
and arrogance in court

is clear testimony to
his criminal character.

Only after severe interrogation,

did he confess the full
extent of his crime.

But he hasn't said a word
on his own feelings...

about this atrocious crime.

This is either because he dares not
disclose his base thoughts,

or because he's cunningly
decided to keep silent,

in the hope of getting
a favourable verdict.

The Defence seems worried
about the Accused's feelings,

but those of the families of
Gosuke, Hachizo and Nishikawa

are surely more important.

Their fathers, their sons,
their husbands were eaten.

Understanding their feelings
is the best basis for judgement.

If we can feel the families'
grief and anger,

we have no need to ask such a low
character about his base thoughts.

That's right!

Order!

Your Honour,
please let the Accused speak.

The Accused has been given
many chances to speak,

but he hasn't spoken.

Please give him another chance.

If the Accused candidly
speaks his mind,

| too would like to hear him.

If the Accused wishes to speak,
he may do so now.

Whatever he may say, his guilt is
clear and will not alter the verdict.

But the nature of his crime
is so bizarre

that I'd be interested to know
his state of mind.

Since the Defence requests it,
stand up and speak.

Tell us exactly how you feel now.

Do you feel sorrow or regret
for what you did?

Are you feeling any
human emotions?

Do I have to answer that?

Answer.
Remember where you are.

I am...

- Enduring.
- Enduring what?

I'm enduring many things.

"Many things" isn't good enough.

Give us an example.
Go ahead, feel free.

For example,
I'm enduring this trial.

Do you object to this trial?

| don't, sir.

In that case,
there's nothing to "endure".

I'm not objecting to it, sir,
I'm just enduring it.

Can't you make it clearer?

It sounds like you're trying
to confuse the court.

I'm not complaining about
the trial,

but a trial seems irrelevant to me.

"Irrelevant"?

- You've committed a grave crime.
- Right.

- Are you aware of that?
-I am.

So you admit your guilt.

Then it isn't a matter of endurance.
You must be tried.

But you see, sir...

That's why I'm saying I've no
choice but to endure it.

| know you think we can't
understand you.

That's because you're
being so arrogant.

Can't you be more humble?

| can't be more humble than
| am now.

I'm just enduring a lot
of things within myself.

You seem to endure a great deal,

but that can also mean
you're without shame.

I'm not trying to argue my
way out of things.

In the cave,

| just endured,
as I thought I had to.

And now, I feel the same way.
I'm enduring.

I've never met a villain
as glib as you!

Is that all you want to say?

Excuse me.

May I ask a question?

What's your question?
Ask it.

Allow me to ask you, then.

Mr. Prosecutor, what kind
of food did you eat

between December last year
and January this year?

Order!

Is that what you want to know?

| ate many different things,
but not flesh from a human body.

Well then, sir,
may I also ask

if you've ever had your flesh
eaten by someone else?

Fortunately, I haven't.

My colleagues are not
as dangerous as you.

| see.

They were the only things
| wanted to ask.

- I understand now.
- About what?

You may understand
something, but I don't.

- Answer me.
- Do I have to, sir?

Just answer me.

If...

Mr. Prosecutor judges me,
| won't feel I've been judged.

So you don't want me
to judge you?

Tell us why not.

Who would you accept?

Gosuke.

Hachizo.

Or Nishikawa.

All three men you named
are now dead.

Besides, you killed one of them
and ate his whole body.

Do you want dead men
to judge you?

I'm only saying that,
if it's you who judges me,

| won't feel as if I've
been judged.

Perhaps you should state
your reason.

My reason, sir?

It's because Mr Prosecutor
has never eaten human flesh.

- Nor has he...
- Very well!

What you're saying is that
one can't be a Prosecutor

unless he's dead,
or a criminal like you.

No, sir.
That's not what I'm saying, sir.

Yes, it is.

You're trying to blame the nation
or society for what you did.

Listen.

We're trying you now
as a society and a nation.

You're denying our justice, right?

- You want to spit at justice.
- I do net, sir.

I'm only saying I wish to be
judged by someone

who has either eaten human flesh,
or had his flesh eaten by others.

Order!

Let him speak.

Order!

Did you hear him,
Your Honour?

Those words show his character.

The Accused is a hopeless fiend.

Does the Accused believe he
committed a crime?

Is he prepared to accept punishment?

| won't...

object, if I'm sentenced
to death.

Then why do you disobey
the Prosecutor?

| didn't disobey him, sir.

| only spoke because the
Prosecutor forced me to...

That's a lie.
You're lying.

You want to challenge the
court's authority.

I've no such intention, sir.

- I'm only enduring.
- You see?

You want to say that none of us
here can judge your crime.

You want to evade punishment
because we're all human.

But you can't do that.

Now, I'll remind you of the
crime you committed.

Did you start eating Gosuke
and Hachizo from their fingers,

or from their ears?

Did you start skinning Nishikawa
from the front or from the back?

How did ripping the nails off sound?

What was the texture of the flesh?

Mr. Prosecutor!

Isn't it indecent to imagine such details
of something you've never done?

Have you no shame?

I'm just enduring.

What you did disgraced
the Japanese people!

You damaged our national honour!

How could you apologise

to His Imperial Majesty for
what you did?

| don't think...

that His Majesty and |
are so different.

What are you saying?

| think His Majesty
is also enduring.

| forbid the Accused to speak.

Clear the court!

Court adjourned.

Court ajdourned!

Court adjourned.
Everybody out!

Everybody out!
Everybody out!

Take shelter, everyone!

Air-raid alert!
To the shelter!

| can't possibly continue
to defend you.

That's fine, sir.
| knew it from the start.

There's really no one...

who can do anything for me.

You seem resigned to your fate.

No, I'm not, sir.
Actually, it's quite the opposite.

I've just remembered something.

There was one thing
| wanted you to do,

but perhaps it would be
difficult for you.

So, what is it?

It is... that you eat me.

But I don't think you can
do that, sir.

You can't possibly do that.

No one would want to
do such a thing.

| wish...

at least that gentleman
could eat me.

Why do you point your
finger at me?

Do you mean I'm different?

No, sir. I was just...

Are you saying I ate
human flesh?

No, sir!

You wouldn't eat human flesh.

You're the Prosecutor,
aren't you?

You're a respectable person.

All the people here are
respectable people.

There's a clear difference between us.

| mean, see the ring of light
around my head?

Look closely.

You can see it, if you try.

That's the stigma I bear.

Are you still talking nonsense?

What's this about a
"ring of light"?

| can't see anything.

Can the Defence counsel
see anything?

| can't.

A ring of light surrounds me.

That's the sign of my guilt.

If such a sign exists,
atrial isn't needed.

That's right, sir.

So you must look hard.

Your Honour,
can you see anything?

How could I see anything?

You must be able to.

Are you saying you can
see it yourself?

| can't see it myself,

but you should be able to.
Please look.

Why are you the only one
who can't see it?

The one with the ring
can't see it.

Those who ate human flesh
can't see it

But I can't see anything.

Neither can I.

Can't you see it either, sir?

| can't believe that.

Neither the Prosecutor
nor the Judge can.

That's impossible.

If that is the case,

it's terrifying.

That's not possible.

Please, come closer.

You must come closer
and look at me.

Please look.

Please look at me more closely!

Please look at me.

Look hard.

I'm sure you will see it!

You must take this seriously.
It's important.

It's important.

Look closely at me!

Your Honour!

Please look at me, sir.

Look closely at me.

Can you see anything,
Your Honour?

Please look.

Can't you see it?

Look hard, please.

Look hard, please.

Please!

Look hard at me!

Look at me, please!

Headmaster!

Well, then.

Thank you.

Thank you very much
for everything.

| didn't do much.

Well,

| suppose I can't die yet.

Please go ahead.
