It is said that 70% of human brain capacity is unused.
If humans possess incredible power,
it is strongly believed to be lying dormant within this region.
This unused 70% brain capacity,
is known as...
Brother...
What is it?
I feel afraid somehow.
I'm afraid of going to our house.
Gone...
Our house is gone.
What is going on...?
Why is our house gone?
Where has our house gone?
Naoya...
We are having stew today, so I really, really need Naoto's help.
Okay, I'll be in charge of cutting up the vegetables.
No, that is dangerous.
Naoto will be in charge of the washing.
Eh? Again?
Alright. That's great, Naoto.
Alright, I'm going to throw. Take this!
Hey, Papa!
Sorry, sorry!
Geez!
Mother, who liked to cook,
and Father, who was bad at playing catch-ball...
Even if the house disappears,
we won't let our memories disappear.
What's wrong, Julia?
Let me out of here!
That street light sure is mysterious.
No matter how many times it was replaced with a new light bulb, it would immediately explode.
Since it felt eerie, we have always left it as it is now.
Ah, what is it?
What's wrong?
I've investigated.
This has been vacant land since a long time ago.
Impossible! The House of Puppets is still around!
There're also our memories and that street light!
However, there are no records left anywhere.
The proof that your house was once here cannot be found anywhere.
Doctor Mikuriya had asked me to relay some words to you.
Words?
He told me that if I waited here, you guys would surely appear.
What did Mikuriya say?
He said that you...
need to seek, by yourselves, for things that you have lost.
Seek by ourselves...
Yes.
There's this as well.
What is it?
Money.
Hey...
Do you still remember things about me?
I'll contact you.
Tell that to Mikuriya.
O-
Okay...
Thank you.
Good bye.
It's boring.
Why is it so boring?
Hey, why must I live even though it's so boring?
It's boring.
No!
Why did you do that, Megumi!
Why did you die, Megumi!
W-Wait. What are you doing?
Please stop!
Please give some thought to the bereaved family.
Hey, mother of the victim, please give your opinion on this chain of suicides!
Megumi!
The mass media sure is excited since there are already three people.
Not only that, they were friends that played together, right?
There's one every week, and it happens at dawn.
Kind of eerie.
It's a curse. It's definitely a curse.
It'll be bad if an exorcism isn't done.
Who will be the next after Megumi?
That would be the one that Megumi was on good terms with.
Yes?
It's me.
What business do you have?
What is the meaning of that?
What are you referring to?
Why is our house gone?
What did you do to our memories?
I don't have that kind of power.
If someone did something, it was done by you.
Us?
Misaki-san did say
that things turn out like this because of the influence of the emotions you two have.
What do you mean? What actually happened?
It looks like a time-space displacement occurred.
Time-space displacement?
Yes.
What nonsense is this?
It's real?
Then...
Then, our parents can be said to have disappeared from this world?
That did not happen.
A complete disappearance should not be possible.
Naoto, you need to search for an answer by yourselves.
That is the message Misaki-san left for you.
That concludes my business.
Wait!
You know of the string of incidents in which high school students from the same school committed suicide?
It's been reported in various places.
I don't know.
Didn't I tell you to wait?!
It's over there.
Should we take a look?
Yes.
What's wrong, Naoya?
Are you all right?
Yes.
What is it?
Get a hold of yourself. Hey, Naoya!
I'm fine.
What is it?
Naoya! Naoya!
Hey, Naoya! Naoya!
It's boring.
It's boring to live.
Naoya! Naoya!
I want to die.
I want to die...
Wake up! Wake up, Naoya!
Brother...
Don't get engrossed by the imagery from now on.
It's dangerous for you.
Y-Yes.
I can see it.
A girl...
All right, got it! Hurry up and run!
Got it!
One every week.
The girl called Megumi is the third victim.
We have to take into consideration that it might be caused by a spiritual entity.
You are saying that the person who died earlier is inviting the next person to follow?
Yes. Since the time of death is at dawn, I feel that it has something to do with spiritual entities.
Spirits are a form of mental energy after all.
However, we cannot do anything if that's true.
In other words, we can say that Mikuriya did not think that it was caused by spiritual entities.
The atmosphere of this town is gloomy and it's bringing pain.
I sense that at least.
Are you all right?
Let's take a look at the school.
Okay?
Okay.
Hey! Can't you act like a high school student once you are out of the school?
If you all can't even do that...
Hey, Yanoguchi, stop.
Yes?
Really, you are only concerned with your appearance. What are you thinking?
Huh, what's this? A kiss mark?
W-Wait...
Okita is doing it again.
Oh my, Takiko sure is pitiful.
Idiot. Acting stuck up because she's popular. She deserved it.
W-What are you doing?
Bastard, what are you doing?!
Ah, sorry, sorry. I slipped.
Damn it, be careful!
A kiss mark? That bitch Takiko wasn't involved with just me?
She's messing around with others.
Damn! That woman actually made a fool out of me!
That bitch Takiko stole my boyfriend, then dumped him immediately.
She acts cocky just because she's a bit prettier! I can't believe such a pathetic woman exists!
Please stop!
What's wrong?
What is it?
Everyone is thinking about that woman simultaneously.
Thus the thought became strong.
Hey, are you all right?
What happened?
Yamashita-sensei.
Ah, this kid suddenly sat down.
He just feeling a bit uncomfortable. It's nothing major.
Wait.
Let go of me!
What was that just now?
Get a hold of yourself, Naoya.
Wait.
Look, you have such a terrible fever.
Take a rest at the infirmary.
Bastard, what are you doing?!
Yeah, Yamashita was just being concerned!
Help me, Brother! Help me!
Come, it's fine. Let's go.
Who are those guys?
When humans gather together, the minus consciousness starts to expand.
It's impossible for us to remain within it.
Humans should have a lot of plus consciousness.
Why did this happen?
Because that incident happened,
it's not weird for the minus consciousness to start to expand within the group.
Brother, that girl is a friend of the girl that died.
You're a friend of the girl who died, right?
That crystal pendant and Megumi-san's is a pair, right?
How...
I have never told anybody about that...
I hoped that you would talk to us.
What do you want to talk about? We are not sure what happened either.
We have discussed it among ourselves several times.
But, no one can recall anything...
But it's weird! There are three people!
Three people have committed suicide in succession.
How can... that be possible...
Megumi said,
"I definitely won't die."
Is there really nothing that you can recall?
There can't be any. Why they committed suicide or got killed...
We can't think of anything...
Hey...
Do things like curses and retribution really exist?
Did you recall something?
Such things can't possibly exist.
Why do you guys know about this pendant?
C-Crystals possess a special energy, so it's easy to sense them.
I don't understand what you're saying.
You guys are the weird ones.
What kind of person is Okita-sensei?
The worst. He's a teacher that sexually harasses.
The dead Masaki was expelled due to him.
Why was he expelled?
When some money was lost in school, he determined that Masaki was the culprit.
That was definitely a mistake.
That's mean...
What about that girl called Takiko?
I hate her.
Why?
Her appearance doesn't match her heart. But she's popular.
She's had boyfriend after boyfriend...
Megumi once said that the one that Takiko really loved was herself.
She was not on good terms with Megumi-san?
Takiko seduced Megumi's boyfriend, but she was later rejected.
Since then, Takiko looked at Megumi strangely.
Then, what about the infirmary nurse, Yamashita-sensei?
She's a good nurse. She's really kind.
Why did you ask about Yamashita-sensei?
Have you gotten into an argument or conflict with anyone?
That... Even if someone hates us, how are they killing us?
After all, everyone committed suicide.
They committed suicide.
Why did you bring unrelated people here?
I told you before not to bring anyone here!
But...
Three of your friends have died, right?
Can't you re-
Those kinds of things can't exist.
Controlling the thoughts of people.
You were planning to sell information out, weren't you?
You are mistaken, we are...
Get out of here!
Brother, let's go.
That girl really knew nothing.
The shock of losing her friends has made her numb to her sorrow.
Can't blame her.
Naoya, what did you discover at the school?
That Okita-sensei is a horrible person.
However, the scariest one is that Yamashita-sensei from the infirmary.
What did you see?
Help me! Brother, help me!
Students...
Students were being stabbed by her.
On the surface, she has always appeared kind,
however, due to that, she remained silent inside.
The truth is that there are a lot of students that she hates.
If she is not aware of her dark side,
the urge that she has suppressed will definitely grow bigger.
Brother,
Yamashita-sensei is scary.
She's... really scary.
Okay.
At the usual place. I'll think I'll get there in ten minutes.
Saying such things. Megumi, you are the one that's usually late.
Eh? You are being mean to your boyfriend.
It was hard for him to turn down Takiko's invitation, right? You must treasure the chance.
Oh yeah, let's call Masaki and the rest.
Then everyone can...
everyone can...
play...
Dear customer, the number that you are dialing is currently not in use.
Please confirm the number and redial.
Hey, why are you crying?
Why are you in pain?
M-Megumi?
Why are you lonely?
Hey! Let's go and play! Ten minutes is going to be up soon!
We're tired of waiting.
Come, let's go.
Yes,
come.
Yoshimi,
come.
Don't. Stop pulling me like that.
Megumi.
That destructive urge skillfully slips into the gaps of the heart.
A small tragedy is hidden behind the demon-like actions.
Filthy prejudice is expanding the darkness of the heart.
The transparent soul is being tainted by the color of despair.
Next episode, Regret.
Where are we heading?
