I stayed up late... the night before everything ended.
As my shaken sense of reality is lost,
where will my sentiments,
piling up like rubble, go?
Holding a crushed hope,
I brushed the red rain off, and ran in a trance.
At the end of these crumbled emotions,
what do you see? What exists? I still don't know.
All those fleeting prayers
simply kept spreading silently in front of my eyes.
You're an idiot.
Takagi?
You always come here when you're running away from something.
Are you a grade schooler?
That's right...
Everything was normal up until then.
It's only the first semester and you're already like this.
I was in the sunshine...
You'd better get ready to at least attend make-up lessons, or even repeat a grade.
wallowing in self-pity. I even believed I was the fourth-unluckiest high school sophomore...
in the entire world.
But at that time, everything was already...
very close to ending.
Wait a minute, Mr. Tejima! That's a bit excessive...
Now that I think about it...
we should have just forced our way outside then, no matter what.
But we were frantically heading to the observatory...
At the time, it seemed like the best idea.
Re-
Rei!
Why? Why is this happening?
There has to be a reason.
If we can figure it out, we'll be able to find a solution.
Whatever Hisashi says is always right.
I wanted to believe that too.
But I instinctively knew...
that the world we knew was already gone.
So...
I...
Gotcha!
Take this!
That's right.
At that moment...
pretending things were normal sounded way too dangerous.
Stay away!
Then I realized...
that the school hallway we were walking in with weapons in our hands, prepared for danger...
was no longer just a school hallway.
I can't take it anymore! Mom!
That's right. This place is...
...the country of the dead.
I wonder if anyone will come to rescue us.
No one's coming.
Why not?
How can you be so sure?
It's just like the helicopters that we saw on the school rooftop.
They don't have time to rescue us.
They probably never will.
Never?
We might never get any help?
Then what exactly are we supposed to do?!
We'll do what we can.
That's about it.
You're always like this, Takashi.
You always say things that ruin important conversations.
You've done it ever since you were in kindergarten.
I only told you the truth!
Even if that's the case...
you could say it more-
Let's go.
Yeah.
At any rate, we won't be able to survive if we act selfishly.
Teams! We need to team up!
Let's go!
What we did then meant that we were getting ready to face the real crisis, as we ran frantically through the school.
A school filled with yelling voices, screams, and a mixture of life and death.
They aren't humans.
They aren't humans anymore!
It's dangerous outside!
Do not get out of your car, no matter what!
I repeat!
Do not get out of your car, no matter what!
We're moving at about one kilometer per hour.
At this rate, I'm not sure we'll be able to cross the bridge before dawn.
Shut up! Be quiet!
Be quiet?
But I'm hungry...
It's okay.
You'll be safe here.
It's okay.
Teacher...
You have nothing to worry about.
It's okay...
Well, there you have it.
By majority vote, I've become the leader.
Rei!
Screw it!
No way in hell am I going to travel with that prick!
Wait a minute!
You just have to stay patient until we get to the city.
I told you that you'd regret it!
Look, now's not...
Nurse Marikawa!
I still didn't realize...
that the world had already ended.
Komuro, are you two all right?!
The police station!
We'll meet up at the East Police Station!
What time?!
Tonight at 7:00!
If not today, then tomorrow at the same time!
There's... nobody here.
Either they ran away, or they died.
If they died, they'd be walking around!
Then they must have left with other survivors...
Takashi, look!
No license, no helmet, and a stolen bike.
I'm just asking to get arrested, huh?
After fighting so many undead...
you're still afraid of the police?
Of course not!
Are you kidding me?
Rei!
That patrol car's leaking gasoline.
It's not safe!
We might be able to find something useful.
Don't space out!
You help too!
Do you know how to use one?
If it's like what I've seen on television...
you don't put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to shoot.
What's wrong?
It's... heavy.
Of course it is; it's real.
Only five shots, huh?
Takashi, here.
The handle on the other officer's gun was broken...
but the bullets should still be good.
You're impressive.
My dad showed me his gun before.
Besides, did you think I'd be afraid of a little blood after all this?
Should we throw these away?
Guns aren't reliable if you don't know how to aim.
But you feel a bit safer anyway, don't you?
Self-Service
I wonder if they have any gasoline left.
Every gas station has enough gasoline to fill up over one thousand tanks.
It should be fine.
Tch!
What is it?
This station is self-service.
To get gas, you need to put money or a card into the machine.
Then go ahead and do it.
I bought juice earlier, so I only have 30 yen left.
You're the worst...
Well, I'm sorry I can't be Hisashi!
Where did that come from?!
When did I ever compare you with Hisashi?!
You said I'm the worst, right?!
That means someone is the best, right?
You must have meant Hisashi!
You really are... the worst.
What?
Money!
Let me borrow some.
Well... I left my wallet in my bag.
What? Don't act like you're any better, then.
Wait right here.
Scream if something happens.
Is anyone here?
No good.
Oh, well.
I've always wanted to try this.
What?
He seems to be having fun.
I guess... I shouldn't be too hard on Takashi.
Rei?!
Hey, stop moving!
Rei, what's wrong?!
You've got a really cute girlfriend, bro!
Let Rei go!
Idiot!
Like hell I'd do that.
I need a woman to survive in a world filled with monsters!
Are you insane?
Am I insane?
Hell yes I am!
My whole family turned into monsters right before my eyes!
I...
I smashed all their heads in!
My father, my mother, my grandmother, my little brother...
Even my kid sister!
Of course I'd go insane!
Takashi!
Rei!
Your boobs and voice are the best.
And these are p-pretty b-big.
You've fucked her, right?
Every night, right?
No, wait...
You've never fucked her?
What an idiot!
Takashi!
Hey, drop that bat!
If you don't, I'll kill her.
And...
give me your bike too.
It's out of gas.
You destroyed the register!
You should have plenty of money!
Fill it up!
Please touch the anti-static sheet before you begin.
Hey...
Could you let her go?
We're on our way to see if our parents are okay.
Didn't you hear what I said?!
If they're in this city, then your parents ended up just like mine!
It's full.
Get out!
Just go!
Hey, seriously-
Shut up, or should I kill you too?!
Hey, I'm begging-
Shut up! I'll fucking kill you!
I've never fired a gun before...
but I won't miss like this.
Th-The gasoline might catch on fire...
It's a lot better than someone stealing my girl!
A hole!
Blood... Blood!
How dare you?
How dare you?!
Stop it, Rei.
But...
We don't have time to mess around with him.
Besides, we made quite a bit of noise.
Hey, you're just gonna leave?!
I'll be alone!
Help me! Help me, please!
Hey!
"The darkness will now end,"
your dark, stagnating eyes murmur.
This hopelessly-ruined world...
has even lost its place in tomorrow.
But the voice of who I must protect guides me.
When I swore not to see her tears ever again,
the shackles on my heart were broken.
Now let the flames melt away my frozen heart.
Holding the grip,
I firmly place my trembling fingers on the black, heavy trigger,
changing my life into a bullet of madness.
What's wrong, Takashi?
You're quiet.
Stuff like this is probably going to keep happening from now on.
Really?
No, you're right.
Forget it.
Let's hurry.
There's no way I could forget it.
It's been only one day since the world came to an end...
but I've already killed someone.
There's no way I could forget it.
This is crazy.
It's like a war.
Hitagi, you like him?
Maybe worse than a war.
I was holding back for a long time!
Don't be ridiculous!
They must be going crazy, just like us.
Why did they shoot? We're alive!
I just wanted a normal life!
You're a real man, Hirano.
