Did you hear about Ayano?

She tried to escape, right?

I think so.

Did she die because she tried escaping?

I don't know.

Ogura's brother died that day too, didn't he?

Yeah.

Wasn't he a shut-in?

Yeah.

I heard something about the class trip.

Get this, apparently it's important.

How so?

Like, asking the gods for help?

I heard the class was saved before by doing that.

Open your eyes and bare the darkness within

yoru wo oou mabuta hirake

Don't fear the evil in them

magaki kage wo osoreru nakare

Like a puppet that was

honokuraki hitsugi kara

disgorged by a gloomy coffin

umiotosareta ningyou no you ni

your body is covered in blood-red ice

karada wa akaku kogoe

and blackness is the cradle of your soul

kokoro wa yami ni ayasaresodatsu

Can you see me?

kimi ni boku ga mieru kai

I can feel the chill of your hands

tsunagu te no tsumetasa ni

Raise your blood-stained talons

senketsu no tsume tateru

Scowl at the world around you

mayu yosete goran yo

Let us destroy each other

kowashiaou saki ni

and evade a future where all is clad in doubt and confusion

tsuzuku nazo ni michiru ketsumatsu wo

Otherwise, with our wings and feet ripped from us

hane mo ashi mo mogareta mama

we will rot away under this empty sky

kokuu no naka kuchihateru yori

There is a second me

mou hitori boku ga ite

which loves someone so much it draws blood

dareka wo itai hodo aishiteiru n da

Tell me now, which is the real one?

saa docchi ga maboroshi darou ne

Stupid...

Stupid brother!

You idiot!

Ouch!

I'm sorry! Are you all right?

You okay?

Nice to meet you. I'm Sakakibara Kouichi.

Sakitani Memorial Hall

Got the tape?

Yep.

Listen to it?

Not yet.

I'm too scared to do it alone.

Let's take a commemoration photo.

It's our last summer break in junior high.

How about it?

Sakitani Memorial Hall

Everyone line up over there.

Perfect.

Let's get the teachers in it too.

All right, almost ready.

Sakakibara and Misaki, squeeze a little closer together.

Mochizuki, you should be in one too.

I'll take it.

Here goes!

Hey, Mochizuki, you and Ms. Mikami are too spread out.

You too, Sakaki and Misaki!

Kazami, you're fine there.

All right. Say, "Cheese"!

Tomorrow, we'll visit the shrine to pray for our safety.

Right.

This is a nice lodge.

A local business donated its recreation center.

A bit lavish for students, if you ask me.

Welcome.

We've kept all the rooms open for you.

Thank you for having us for the next three days.

We're happy to. Thanks for coming.

If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

Okay.

Here we go.

—Now, this is the important part.

It happened after we reached the bottom of the mountain.

And by it, I mean...

I...

It happened in the forest, outside of the lodge.

I got into an argument with a guy named—

We went at each other.

And... And...

...before I realized it, he wasn't moving.

He was lying under a huge tree.

When I took a closer look, I noticed he'd been impaled by a branch.

—was dead.

I was terrified, so I ran back to my room at the lodge.

They decided that we were going to stay for another night.

The police also came to see us about the lightning and the fall.

They asked me a lot of questions,

but I couldn't tell them about—

I hardly slept that night.

Surely everyone would freak out if they found the body of—

Come morning, it was evident that no one had found out,

so I went back into the forest to take a look.

But... it wasn't there.

It had vanished without a trace.

I was baffled.

I went to ask everyone what had happened to—

But they just looked at me like I was crazy.

They said, "Who's that?" and, "I don't know anyone named that."

They even said there were 19 students on the trip, not 20.

That's when it dawned on me.

The guy I killed must have been the extra student.

I knew without a doubt that I killed—

Nothing can change that fact.

That's why I decided to come clean.

This is my confession.

It's been two weeks since that trip,

and only I, the person involved with his death, can still remember—

I get the feeling it's only a matter of time, though.

That's why, while I can still remember,

I want to tell you the truth,

and how you can stop the calamity.

Are you listening?

Send them back to death, where they belong.

Send the dead back to death.

That's how to stop the calamity once it's begun.

I couldn't make out his name.

Does that mean this has been altered?

Probably.

It must be real, then.

There's no reason to alter a fake.

Well, we don't need the name.

What matters is how we stop the calamity.

They say there's no way to tell the dead from the living,

and that they don't know they're dead.

Is there any way to tell?

There doesn't seem to be.

Mr. Matsunaga's case was pure coincidence.

You don't think the extra student is here, at this lodge, do you?

Say we do figure out who it is...

What do we do?

Are we supposed to... kill them?

Well—

Could you kill a classmate?

You know, I've been thinking about who the extra person could be.

Do you have someone in mind?

Well, I...

I just think there must be some way to tell who it is.

Keep inhaler in bag when not in use.

Maybe there is, and we just don't know about it yet.

Exactly.

May I have a moment, Ms. Mikami?

Since we're all together, there's something I'd like to say.

Is that all right?

S-Sure.

Go ahead, Akazawa.

Since May, we've experienced nothing but misfortune.

Just last month, even Mr. Kubodera became a victim.

For starters, I'd like to apologize for my incompetence as the head of countermeasures.

Additionally, though it remains unclear whether or not this trip leads us toward a resolution,

I sincerely believe that you, Misaki, hold some of the responsibility for these disasters.

Why...

Why...

I believe if Misaki had upheld her role as the nonexistent student properly,

then no one would have died.

Hold on!

What happened was unavoidable.

She couldn't do anything about it.

Is that so?

If she had avoided all contact with Sakakibara,

then the countermeasure would have been a success.

But—

I believe the person responsible for its failure is Misaki.

Wouldn't you all agree?

What do you expect her to do about it now?

Apologize.

We have yet to hear one word of apology from her.

Yet, the moment you were allowed to exist again,

you carried on as if nothing had happened.

It's pointless.

Apologizing changes nothing.

If you believe so, then I shall.

Misaki, you have nothing to apologize for.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

It's not!

Stop it!

This is stupid!

We just need to figure out who the extra st—

Hey, Wakui, are you okay?

Are you in pain?

Hey!

Is this boy asthmatic?

Yes. He always carries this.

An inhaler? Shouldn't he use this?

It's empty?

Do you have a spare?

Call an ambulance! Ms. Mikami, call an ambulance now!

Um...

Our phones haven't been working since yesterday. We can't make any calls.

We've arranged for repairs...

It's out of range.

Does anyone have service?

Call 119! Get an ambulance over here!

It says there's an antenna here, but I can't connect!

Mine won't work, either.

There's no service.

I'll drive him to the hospital.

Are you all right?

I'm not the one you should be worried about.

Maybe we shouldn't go up the mountain tomorrow.

Maybe not.

Sakakibara.

Yeah?

Thanks for earlier.

Huh?

You stood up for me in the dining room.

Oh. It was nothing.

It wasn't just me, you know.

There was Mochizuki and Teshigawara too.

Thank you.

Will you come see me later?

I have my own room.

And...

I want to see the photo.

Where was it?

In a detached room at our house.

My grandma found it.

I don't know why it was in there, though.

Really?

My aunt Reiko uses that room.

Can you tell which one Yomiyama Misaki is?

Well, I can see that one person looks strange.

Strange? Like how?

Like...

He's kind of blurry, compared to the others in the photo.

Distorted, somehow.

That's right.

What about the color? Do you see any strange colors?

No, not really.

Thank you.

Are these other photos also your mom's?

Yeah.

They really did look alike.

Who?

Your mother and your aunt.

You think so?

Their faces look the same, even as kids.

Does Reiko paint at home?

Yeah.

She considers it her "real" job.

I see.

You were drawing something too, weren't you? An angel?

Who was the model for that?

It was...

Your cousin Misaki?

Maybe.

When we first met, at the hospital,

were you taking that doll to your late cousin?

Did you think it was odd?

Well...

It's sort of complicated.

I don't really like talking about it.

Could you tell me?

Sure.

Kirika, my mother's, real name is Yukiyo,

and Misaki's mother's name is Mitsuyo.

They're twins, almost identical.

When they grew up, they both got married,

and Mitsuyo became a mother.

To your cousin Misaki?

And one other.

She had twins.

Twins?

One year later, Yukiyo became pregnant too,

but she miscarried.

You mentioned that.

Yukiyo was heartbroken. She almost had a breakdown.

To make matters worse, the Fujioka household,

where the twins were born, was in financial trouble.

The Misaki household, on the other hand,

needed something to soothe Yukiyo's heart.

It was a matter of supply and demand.

You mean—?

I was given to her.

I think they gave me to her, instead of Misaki,

because of my name.

Your name?

If the Misakis took in a daughter named Misaki,

then her name would be Misaki Misaki, right?

I've been raised as Yukiyo—as Kirika's only daughter for as long as I can remember.

I think I was in fifth grade when I found out.

My grandmother accidentally let it slip.

I'd never seen my mother so flustered.

She probably planned on keeping it a secret for the rest of my life.

What happened when you found out?

I wanted to meet Fujioka Mitsuyo, my other mother.

I told Kirika that.

At first, she looked incredibly sad,

but then she was furious.

She didn't want you to meet your birth mother?

I guess not.

She doesn't involve herself in my life much.

Except for—as I've mentioned—certain things.

Right. I remember.

I think she's anxious.

It's probably the reason why she has me carry a cell phone.

Though, during all that,

I was secretly meeting with Misaki.

By then, she also knew that we were twins.

We felt that we were connected, whether we wanted to be or not.

She would sneak into my house sometimes.

She said she liked my house because it was filled with pretty dolls.

When I asked her what she wanted for her birthday in April,

she said, "I want that doll."

Soon after starting ninth grade though, she suddenly...

That's what you were doing?

I had made a promise with her.

So you weren't cousins. You were sisters.

Yes.

That's why you told me, "It may have already begun."

You remember that?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me back then?

I...

I just...

I didn't want to believe it.

I didn't want to believe Misaki had died

because of some crazy curse.

That's why...

I could only call her my cousin.

I didn't want to say it.

The Misaki who died in April was the first victim.

In that case...

Everyone else seems to think the calamity began in May, but...

The extra student was already in the class before I transferred to Yomi North.

Is that why you're so certain that I'm not dead?

Yes.

Because I wasn't in the class back in April?

There's that, but it's not the main reason.

What's your main reason?

It's...

This eye.

This doll's eye tells me you're not.

Your left eye?

I think I told you that it lets me see things that should remain unseen.

Yeah. What can it see?

The...

...color of death.

The color of things close to death.

Color?

What color is that?

A color I've never seen with my right eye.

It doesn't belong with colors like red and blue.

It's unique.

And you can only see that color in someone who's dead?

It's clearest in dead people,

and faint in those with serious illnesses or injuries.

You mean, you can tell when people are about to die?

You can't understand how I can see these things, right?

Well...

I've had to accept it.

I've never even talked to Misaki about this.

At some point,

I decided to keep this eye covered for the rest of my life.

That's why I wanted to see that photo from 26 years ago.

You could see the color of death in Yomiyama Misaki?

Yes.

It's the first time I've ever seen that color so clearly in a photo.

I don't see the color of death in you.

That's how I know it's not you.

You're not the extra.

And you know it's not you for the same reason?

Does that mean you already know who the extra person is?

I try to keep my eye patch on at school.

But you wrote "Who is dead?" on your desk.

I didn't think finding out would change anything.

I did wonder, though, so...

What about now?

Is the dead person here with us?

The extra person...

...is here.

Who is it?

It's...

Sakaki!

I think I fucked up!

Just as the colors fade from old film

iroaseteku firumu no you ni

the things I feel in the present fade from memory sooner or later

tashika na ima mo izure kasunde

as will the short-lived times of happiness and innocence we enjoyed

nande mo naku waraiatta setsuna no jikan to hikari

I believe that the memories we have in common

tsunagatteyuku kioku no soko ni

harbor the potential for finding love again deep within

dareka ga mitsukeru tame aru to shinjiteru

Even now I believe that

ima demo

Makeup.
