You are not ordinary humans.
That day, I finally learnt that I am not an ordinary human.
You are born with a mission to be completed.
Your mission is to complete donations.
We are born for that purpose.
That's why, completing our life's mission is a job that has to be done.
Even if it's the man who was everything to me.
Even if it's the woman who stole everything from me.
It's all the same.
What's left..
..is put an end to this mission.
Long time no see, Kyoko!
Miwa.. - I knew you'll come!
Let me go.
My last donation was liver.
Since then, my anemia got worse.
Oh..
I'm so glad.
They finally accepted my request to have Kyoko as my carer.
Because I'm the one who requested it.
What is that?
Not much.
You do remember!
I like pudding.
It's written in your data.
I want to eat it while it's cold. Could you put it in that fridge?
Ok.
Is this a present?
Here, look at this!
"Kyoko"?
From the beginning, Kyoko's name is written on it!
What's wrong? What's happened?
Nothing.
Here..
Open this.
Anyway, about "that"..
Who do you think did "that"?
What is "that"?
The murder in "the woods"..
20 years ago.
Did you forget?
When we're in the 4th grade..
What is this woman planning to do?
Does she want to mock me?
After Kyoko helped me, after the exhibition.
Or, something has made her insane?
Who do you think is the culprit?
Or, she wants to kill me in this place?

You are born with a mission to be completed.
Your mission is to donate your internal organs.
In other words, you are angels.
"All of you have not been told about the truth."
But it means we have to donate some parts of our body to other people, right?
Why should we do that?
That..
That's because we were born for that purpose, right?
But, why should we do that? - Because we're born as angels.
Have you done "that" each year?
"That"?
You forced them to donate because all the circumstances, but you told them that they were born as angels who have missions.
Too many hypocrisies! Are you losing your mind?
No, I'm not.
I do think like that.
Those who will help us when we're torn apart..
If we don't call them 'angels', what should we call them?
Don't you think so?
I understand..
I'm glad that you're understand.
Donations can help someone's life, right?
It may hurt a bit, but it's a very good deed, right?
Yes.
But it won't make us die, right?
For example, if they took our heart..
Impossible! If they do that, we will die soon, right?
If we save other people's lives then we die, it will be meaningless, right?
Right, Kyoko?
Yes.
There is no way the donations will required us to do that much.
Of course, right? We will only give parts that we can give, right?
Somehow, it's still unclear, right?
About the previous announcement?
If I think about it now..
Ouch! - Why are you gazing emptily like that?
Ah, about the wall..
What?
Can we go outside the wall?
There is a killer demon outside the wall, you know!
Does it really exist?
The guardians have gone back and forth through the woods, right?
*the guardians are teachers who have some kind of quasi-parental function of the boarding school housemaster or mistress*
Well, they have.
I wonder what is outside the wall..
Good morning, my angels!
Jiro-sensei, good morning!
Finally, today we are going to create the artworks for the exhibition.
Exhibition? - Yes!
It's time to see what you have learnt in a year.
What is the theme for this year?
Your favorite things.
Things you're interested in, things you like, and things you treasure.
It can be drawings, crafts, or anything.
Convey your soul through your artwork!
Through your precious things, you should 'perform' your soul!
Reveal your soul! - Perform!
Let's go! - The children look so enthusiastic.
Yes, because they have finally started making their artworks for the exhibition. This one, please..
Exhibition?
Geez, shouldn't you know it? Because you're a teacher!
Help me, here. - Ah, ok.
The children's artworks will be displayed, and Madame will come to choose some of it.
Children whose artworks get chosen, will get a lot of coins (for the sale).
Who is Madame? - Don't you know her?
She is the woman who sometimes visits this institute and always wear such natty clothes.
Who is her name? - No one knows it.
That's why everyone calls her "Madame".
Hmm, who is she actually?
Who knows, rumor says she is this institute's sponsor.
But no one knows the truth. - Why has it been a secret?
Well, in this place..
There are a lot of fishy things here, right?
A lot of fishy things..
Indeed, there are.
Tomo!
What are you doing? - Nothing.
What is it?
This is about Tatsuko-sensei.
She said that all of us have not been told about "the truth", right?
When she also said that soccer is on the same level as drawing.
Oh!
By "the truth", did she mean things we heard yesterday (from Emiko-sensei)?
Hmm, maybe.
But, that time..
Why did she look so vexed?
Tomo, what do you think? - What do you mean?
Eh?
Don't you feel curious?
Isn't that why you often gaze emptily?
Oh, that's because of this.
I wonder if we could go outside.
What? - Don't you want to try?
How is the outside world?
Tatsuko-sensei even said that the world is big.
But you will be killed by the demon, then your body will get hanged on the tree.
Your mission is to complete donations.
So, this is..
What's wrong? - Nothing.
If the guardians find out, you will get scolded.
*the guardians are teachers who have some kind of quasi-parental function of the boarding school housemaster or mistress*
We can not get out through this door, huh?
Move aside!
How could we go out? - Be slimmer!
Are you stupid?! - You fool!
What are you doing?
Hmm, to be honest..
It's okay, right? She's Tatsuko-sensei.
But Tatsuko-sensei is a teacher, right?
Hey, let's play soccer!
What are you planning to do?
Hey, Kyoko..
What? - Artwork for the exhibition.
Ah, I haven't decided yet. - I want to make a hand.
Hand? - Yes.
So, don't make the same thing!
Ok.
Just by looking at it, we can feel the happiness. I think, this is good.
Next, Mimura. - Yes.
Oh, a soccer player!
Roberto Baggio.
Hmm~
His forward is known as "Italy's Pride" and his strength is the ability to score a goal for his team's victory.
He is a great person! - Who?
Do you know? - Where is Italy...?
What do you think about his drawing?
Looks passionate! - It looks moving..
Cool!
I think, this drawing is cool because it looks moving.
But, about this person..
You knows a lot about him, don't you? - Tatsuko-sensei told me about him.
Hoo... Okay, I get it.
Next, Sakai.
Oh..
Why did you make this?
Because hand that creates the art, is definitely the most precious thing.
How is it?
Cool.. - Ah!
Is that Jiro-sensei's hand?
Precisely!
Sakai, so you really can do it if you tried..
If only you always like this.. - Sensei, you're so cruel!
*they're mocking each other as kind of friendly jokes*
Next..
Doi! - Yes.
Your artwork?
This. - What?
This is a fart.
Doi, Sensei can not see that kind of artwork.
But if a fart can be seen, it will be weird instead, right?
I just farted out a little, could you see it?
(children is laughing)
Okay, now stop joking around!
Isn't it good to be called as "modern art"?
Because the most precious thing is invisible to the eye.
*Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is the author who wrote "what is essential is invisible to the eye" and that "the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart" in his book titled "The Little Prince"(Le Petit Prince) which has been adapted for various media (the latest was a 2015 computer-animated fantasy film directed by Mark Osborne).*
Saint-Exupéry said so.
Ok, I get it.
But if you want to make this acknowledged as a modern art, there should be a placard with the word "fart" written on it.
I think, you should at least make that placard.
Yes.
Usually, I don't mind if they draw a soccer player.
But the problem is, the students now understand about the existence of career and country.
By knowing a soccer player, they learn more about society which shouldn't be taught here, and it may make them become rebels one day.
They will also start to think that things they learnt from the guardians, are not real.
*the guardians are teachers who have some kind of quasi-parental function of the boarding school housemaster or mistress*
Why did you accept that woman?
Because from the beginning, there have been only few people who want to teach here.
I was interested in her passion.
After the exhibition, I will talk to her again.
In this world, there are children who play soccer barefoot.
Barefoot? - Yes.
Doesn't it hurt? - Hmm..
Because they are poor, they do not have enough money to buy shoes.
How sad..
However, some of them trained so hard and they became soccer players.
Not only buy shoes, now they can also travel around the world, go anywhere, and visit any place they want!
They can travel around the world while being a soccer player?
Yes. - Can we do that?
Fool! We have to complete the donations, right?
While being donors, it will be nice if we can also be soccer players, right?
Nice idea!
But doing the donations will be painful, right?
Oh, you're right..
Even though it hurts, if I can play soccer, I will bear the pain.
Of course, right?
You should do that before you become donors.
It doesn't make sense if you're not allowed to do that.
The future can be changed.
You should change that whimsical future.
The future...?
Will my artwork get chosen?
My artwork has never get chosen.
Don't worry..
Jiro-sensei already praised you, right?
Well, yes.
It's okay, right?
It's okay.
Ah, Jiro-sensei.. - Oh, she finally comes!
Madame has come!
Did she ever laugh?
Hmm~
I think, she'd ever cried.
Don't worry, Miwa..
Cool, you guys are amazing!
Everyone is in the auditorium, so this is an easy victory!
*means they can acquired the stairs easily*
Oh, it's so easy!
You're too loud! Let's do this.
Yosh!
Whoaaa~
Next, my turn. - Ok, I'll wait.
Since Madame will go back soon, you may come in now.
Yeay!
You're amazing, Kyoko!
It's been 4th in a row, right?
*Kyoko is now a 4th grader, means her artworks always get chosen each year*
Yes.
After all, it's up to Madame's preferences, right?
Shut up!
Sorry..
Let's go!
Eh?
This artwork should be chosen, maybe Madame didn't see this.
No way, it's okay! - But, I think..
This is a very good artwork!
Let's go!
She is coming!
What are you doing?
You make her surprised.
Ah, sorry..
We'd like you to see this artwork..
No!
Go back!
It's okay. What is it?
I think, maybe Madame didn't see this, because we are all agree that this is the best artwork.
Maybe, I didn't see this one.
Thank you.
You're glad, now? Say something to her.
Thank you so much.
Madame looks weird, right?
When she saw us, she looked so surprised..
..or more like, she was scared of us.
It's weird, right? - Wasn't she just surprised?
Yes, if we suddenly meet someone in an unexpected place, we will definitely be surprised, right?
Maybe..
But..
Kyoko, you're amazing!
That artwork is finally taken by Madame.
It's because Miwa's artwork is cool.
But it's thanks to Kyoko, right?
It's amazing that you can say that clearly to Madame.
I wouldn't dare to say that!
It's nothing.. -No, it's amazing!
Kyoko is small, but so dependable!
Eh? Miwa?
I want to take a walk for a while.
Eh?
Because, I'm in a good mood.
Then, see you later!
Mrs. Principal!
Near the wall..
Kyoko..
This is for you.
What? It's a toy..
Madame felt the same as Kyoko felt right now, right?
Eh?
For her, we are scary, just like cockroaches.
What do you mean?
Cockroaches won't cause any real harm, right?
Yet it's scary, right? Looks so disgusting..
But our appearances have no differences with Madame, right?
Only the appearances, right?
As expected, there is no such thing as a killer demon.
Yes..
What Tatsuko-sensei said is true!
The world is big.
If we don't come back, we don't have to do any donations, right?
Please, forgive us.
Oh my, get in the car!
(the bell chimes)
What's happened? - They haven't comeback?
"They"? - Sit down, please.
Ok, please be quick!
We don't have a lot of time. - "They"?
Everyone is here? - Mimura is not here.
Uchida is not here too.
Mimura and Uchida are wounded. - Wounded?
What's wrong, Doi?
Ah.. - What's happened?
I think, Doi-kun is worried because his friends are wounded.
Don't worry, they're fine.
Ok, let's end this session.
Nicchoku, please come forward.
*?? (Nicchoku) is a student who is in charge of a daily duty*
What's happened to Mimura-kun and Uchida-kun?
They went outside the wall.
What?!
When I climbed, the stairs was broken.
Ouch!
If they're wounded, then something happened to them in "the woods"?
But Sensei said that they're fine, so they will come back soon.
Eh?
It's not here.. - What's wrong?
Hmm, nothing.
Your face doesn't say so.
My CD is gone. - Eh?!
The CD that you got from Tomo?
Isn't that bad?
What's happened?
Kyoko's CD is gone.
What kind of CD?
No, it's not a big deal.
Don't say that easily! It's a present.
How is the cover? How does it look like?
That night, didn't you see that CD?
I don't remember..
There is a woman..
..who smokes a cigarette.
Cigarette?
Yes.
Since there is a cigarette on its cover, we have to keep it as a top secret.
Miwa.. - Yosh!
We have to find it before the guardians!
*the guardians are teachers who have some kind of quasi-parental function of the boarding school housemaster or mistress*
Ok!
Sorry..
What are you saying? We're friends, right?
Thank you.
Ah, where does the CD go?
Did someone steal it?
Sorry..
It's okay, stop apologizing..
Let's find it in other place, maybe in the boys' dormitory.
Today, there is a sad announcement for all of you.
You might have heard that Mimura and Uchida are in the hospital because they are wounded.
But in fact, the whereabouts of Mimura-kun and Uchida-kun from the 4th grader are unknown.
Eh? Hiroki and Masato?
They used the stairs to climb the wall, and it seems they went to "the woods".
And now, we are doing a thorough investigation.
We are also trying our best to find them.
Everyone, please pray for their safety.
Are they still alive?
What's happened?
Mimura-kun and Uchida-kun are gone?
Seem so.
Investigation...? Are they kidnapped?
Emiko-sensei!
Have you ever heard about children who did some donations?
Yes, I have heard about it..
There are a lot of requests to do donations for children who have incurable diseases.
Which means..
*children who have incurable disease need organ donations from donors who are also still children*
It's the best for them to do the donations now, before they become grown ups.
Eh?!
You mean, they are already "submitted"?
You "submitted" them as donors?
After they graduate, the students here will have privilege to delay their donations for a maximum of three years.
Do you know why we have that privilege?
Because alumni of Yoko Institute are known for their intellectualities and obediences.
They are also aware of their responsibilities.
Moreover, the data also shows that most of them would be good carers and donors.
If the students start to have free will, become more daring, and be uncontrollable like how you want them to be..
What will they do?
They will escape and refuse to do the donations.
If that happens, what will happen to the students here?
Answer me!
There will be no privilege for the students of Yoko Institute.
The lives of all students here will be shortened.
Not all good things make good results.
If you want to stay here, please change your mindset.
By controlling, we are protecting them.
You should do that before you become donors.
The future can be changed.
I am..
I am the one..
(..who caused it!)
Tomo..
Don't worry.
Both of them will soon be found.
(a girl's scream)
Kyaaa!
Kyaaaaa!
Everyone, back off!
Back off!
Back off..
Don't look!
Everyone, go back to your dorm!
Go back!
Everyone, go back!
Don't you think this is all planned?
The myth about a killer demon in "the woods" becomes more real because of things like this.
Don't you feel manipulated?
I think, we are not angels.
We were created only to provide organs for transplantation.
"All of you have not been told about the truth."
Tatsuko-sensei!
Sensei told Tomo that we have not been told about the truth.
What is the truth?
Is it what Emiko-sensei said the other day?
Only about that?
Yes, what Emiko-sensei said is the truth.
It's the truth.
The real truth.
"It's definitely not the truth, but you have to believe that this is the truth. Because the real truth will keep happiness away from you."
Sorry..
That day, I think Tatsuko-sensei intended to say those things.
Around that time..
Kyoko's CD was gone, right?
Who do you think stole it?
Kyoko..
Here.
A present. - Eh?
Yup, open it!
This is not the same CD, but I asked a junior high senpai to sell it to me.
*senpai (??) is an upperclassman or upperclasswoman, someone of a higher, or a senior; while k?hai (??) is a protégé or junior*
You asked her to sell it?
Because, I really want to see Kyoko's happy face.
Oh..
Thank you, Miwa.
The CD looked like this.
Glad to hear that!
As expected!
Miwa is so kind! - You don't know that?
Cool! I don't even dare to greet a junior high schooler.
What grade is she in? - It's a secret~
Please tell us!
Don't you want your CD back?
I don't know what she thinks.
But this woman is definitely trying to tell me that she is the one who stole it.
The one who stole it...
Miwa..
It's me.
Eh?
I did it.
I don't understand why she did this.
But, I don't want to be mocked anymore.
I don't want her to see me as a loser.
Because now, she is nothing for me.
*Miwa is just a woman who stole everything from Kyoko*
