A wavering wraith of karmic retribution
on a wandering path of wretched fate.
Thoroughly despised and fractured,
a set of two mirrors facing one another.
Coming forth from the darkness where time intersects,
your grievance shall be avenged.
Tell me what time it is right now
Hell Girl Two Mirrors Tell me what time it is right now
Hell Girl Two Mirrors Say it's a dream, hold me
The city in ruins looks familiar
Inside that photographic collection I flipped through with you
Why am I alone all alone?
Right away, right away, I realize it's a dream
I run through the rubble, I kick something
Searching for the exit that will wake me from the dream
I have to hurry, I have to hurry
I can hear your voice from somewhere
You can only see eternity in the flow of time
Tell me what time it is right now
Say it's a dream, hold me
My heart's on the verge of becoming still, make it stir again
Please
You're next to me
Probably having a different dream
I don't need the sun
Right now, I miss your smile
I love him, and yet, I hate him.
Kind, and yet, cruel...
Your grievance shall be avenged. Mikio Suzaki Send
He's dear to me, and yet, I despise him.

Elder Brother, Younger Sister
A younger sister against her elder brother...
The Miss says she senses formidable karmic fate at work.
One of those hatreds born of closeness?
Who knows?
Are you going, Miss?
Yes.
Then I'll come, too.
My, my, that's unusually enthusiastic of you.
What's this change of attitude?
I'm interested in this elder brother, younger sister thing.
So, that's basically it...
Is that all?
Did you meet someone else?
I'm sorry.
I knew it.
It's okay. I understand. It's not your fault, Hiroki.
The fault probably lies with...
Well, I have to get to work, so...
Okay.
You're awfully understanding.
You summoned the Miss, remember?
Hell... Girl...
I'm in charge of your case.
Nice to meet you.
So you saw me get dumped.
Well, it happens.
It always happens.
I am always getting dumped.
Because of my brother.
Huh? Because of your big bro?
If you really want retribution,
untie this red thread.
By untying the thread, you will enter into a covenant with me.
The object of your vengeance will immediately be banished to Hell.
However,
once you have your retribution,
you will have to pay the price for it as well.
Curses come home to roost.
If you enter into the covenant, your soul will also go to Hell.
That's after you die, though.
That's fine with me.
Even if things stayed the same,
I probably wouldn't be able to go to Heaven anyway.
Why not?
Come on, Maho.
Cheer up.
Here, your miso soup.
S-Sorry.
Uh, you know, drink it while it's hot.
Thanks.
Your miso soup is always so delicious.
Yeah, right? Maybe I really will quit modeling and become a chef.
If you did that, you'd make all your fans across the nation sad.
I wouldn't care as long as it made you happy.
I got dumped again.
But I'm okay.
Even without a mother or a father or a boyfriend,
I've still got you.
Any guy who doesn't understand how great you are is a fool.
It's good that you guys split.
Yeah.
That's great, Miki.
Yeah.
That's good.
Looking good.
Yeah.
You look cool.
A big bro who's a much sought-after model, huh? You look cool.
A big bro who's a much sought-after model, huh?
Well, he's a good-looking guy, though not as good-looking as me.
So what's the problem with him?
What the heck are you doing?
Wh-What are you doing here?!
Talk about showing up where you don't belong!
I came to look in on you to see what you were up to.
Did the Miss say anything?
Nope.
Hey, is that fun?
Because you love it, it makes you want to destroy it...
Huh...
But man, that fellow looks like a woman.
All slender and effeminate...
Guys like him are popular over in this world.
I don't get it.
I bet you don't.
So what're you going to do?
You're not heading back?
I'm going to observe them for a while longer.
This is my kind of case.
Welcome.
How would you like this wrapped?
A present for his little sister, who's feeling hurt after getting dumped? How would you like this wrapped?
A present for his little sister, who's feeling hurt after getting dumped? Oh, just leave it the way it is.
Thanks for walking me home, Kouta.
It's no problem.
And this way, I got to spend time with you.
So anyway, would you think about what we talked about earlier?
I will.
I'll be waiting for your reply.
Maho!
Bro...
A friend?
Oh, yeah. A friend?
Oh, yeah.
Kouta Kizaki. He's in the same study session as me.
Nice to meet you! I'm Kizaki!
I appreciate you walking my little sister home.
N-Not at all.
Then, I'll see you again tomorrow.
Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Please excuse me.
Kouta says he works every night until midnight
at the karaoke place in front of the train station.
You have to admire that.
Huh, I see.
What the heck?
Talk about looking intimidating...
So, you were watching earlier, too?
I'm the sort who likes to know everything about our clients.
What will you do with that knowledge?
Are you going to stop me from untying the thread?
Nope.
That decision isn't ours to make. It's yours.
If possible...
...I didn't want to access Hell Link.
But...
You hate your big bro, right?
Well, I guess you wouldn't have connected to us if you didn't.
I hate him, but I also love him.
I adore my brother and I despise my brother.
Love and hate are made of the same stuff, after all.
That kind of thing can happen.
At any rate, I'll be observing you guys for a little longer.
You two are interesting.
I believe my brother will take action tonight.
What?
He will probably go out late at night. What?
He will probably go out late at night.
To see Kota.
Because my brother won't leave any boy who approaches me alone.
What do you mean?
Whenever I find a boyfriend,
my brother always...
...goes from being Mikio to Miki.
Huh?
From a man to a woman.
And a remarkably beautiful woman at that.
Maybe my brother is a woman at heart.
Perhaps that's why he can't bear for me to have a boyfriend
when I am less of a woman than he is
and that's the reason he always steals my boyfriends from me.
Are you sure you're not over-thinking this?
I mean, it's possible your big bro goes to the trouble of becoming a woman,
because he thinks he's protecting you from the creeps.
Because he cares too much about you.
No! That can't be it! Absolutely not!
Karaoke
Please excuse me.
I have brought your drink.
Thank you.
P-Pardon me for the wait.
l-I am sorry.
It's okay.
I'll take care of it myself.
Is this for real?
That outfit...
It wasn't a present for his little sister?
So, what happened?
They had a nice friendly drink at the bar,
and then, they disappeared into a hotel just earlier.
Young people these days are hopeless...
That's not the issue here.
That little sister's had her guy swiped out from under her yet again
by her big bro disguised as a woman!
A man transforming into a woman?
This isn't some play. It doesn't make any sense.
It's got to be unbearable for that little sister.
But I guess that's just how strongly that big bro feels about his sister...
I swear! The karmic fate these humans bear is endless.
I'm back.
Maho?
S-Sorry.
I didn't know you were doing a morning shampoo.
You're back late.
Did the photo shoot run long?
Y-Yeah.
I'll make breakfast right away.
What did you want to talk to me about?
Um, so, about what we discussed yesterday...
It looks like my job's suddenly going to get busy and stuff,
so I don't think I can get into a relationship right now, after all...
I see.
I'm sorry.
I know I'm the one who brought it up...
Did you find someone else?
Well... Well...
I knew it.
That's why my brother didn't come home last night.
What?
Don't worry about it.
It's not your fault, Kouta.
Bye.
I knew it...
Good.
Maho...
Cute dress, isn't it?
I found it... in your room.
l-I see...
See, that was actually used in a shoot.
I asked to have it, because I thought it'd look good on you.
I figured as much.
Does it look good?
Yeah, it looks really good on you.
Even better than on you?
It looks better on you, doesn't it?
Because...
...you're way, way more beautiful than I am.
Maho...
I've known for a long time now, you know.
That you've been becoming a woman to get close to my boyfriends.
What?!
Why? Why, Bro?!
Why do you want my boyfriends?!
Why can't it be someone else?!
Why?!
Do you hate me that much?
Do you hate it that much to see your little sister find a boyfriend,
when she isn't as pretty as you?!
That's not it. You've got it wrong, Maho.
Then why?!
Because... I'm in love with you.
It's because I'm in love with you.
I've always, always loved you.
More than anyone. More than anything.
You're lying...
It's not a lie.
I love you!
You must've known it, too!
No...
Since when?
Probably... since before I was born...
This is fate.
Don't cry, Maho.
I can't stand to have you snatched away by someone else.
I know you best.
I'm the one who can make you happiest.
I'm the best one to...
Maho!
Bro, no!
l-I'm sorry, Maho.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what got into me...
I'm going to work.
Maho...
I can't do this anymore...
Someone, help me...
Bro's lost his way...
No, that's not it.
I can't fight it anymore...
I probably won't be able to keep things the way they are...
Help me, Hell Girl.
Your grievance has been heard.
It suits you well, Mikio.
Yeah, this is how I should be.
I have to stay a woman.
Or I'll end up hurting Maho.
As a man, I'll hurt Maho, so...
Wanna have some fun, babe?
Sure.
But in exchange, don't go near my little sister.
Huh?
Come on, let's go.
There's an unpleasant wind in the air today.
Are you going?
Yes.
You be careful out there.
See you later.
This will mean one less guy who'll approach Maho.
This is how it should be.
This is the way...
Let's call it quits with this, bud.
Wh-Who are you people?!
I can't bear to keep watching.
You...
...or Maho.
What?
Let it all go, Adonis.
Prettying yourself up has got to be exhausting.
You're good-looking enough to make even me jealous.
So long, bud.
Bro.
O pitiful shadow lost in the darkness...
Demeaning and bringing harm to others...
A damned soul, wallowing in sin...
Care to give death a try?
Maho!
There may eventually come a time when you'll see your sister in Hell.
Now, I won't have to end up hurting Maho.
I consign this grievance to Hell...
So many of them...
Bro...
Bro... Bro...
I'll come join you soon.
Elder brother and man. Younger sister and woman.
Did those two get lost, caught between those roles?
Who knows?
There's a line that people shouldn't cross.
And that can't be ignored.
Creepy!
We're going home.
Okay.
Maho Suzaki
Your grievance shall be avenged.
Maho Suzaki
No empty dreams, no eternal lament
The luster of the moon
Illuminates my soul
The dance of the fiery flowers guides my way
The entangling songs of errors
Bring me heartache
Placing my hand in the endless river, let it wash away
The words that tormented me, dyeing them indigo
Me?! In a movie?! Really?!
Yeah!
Movie director Tetsuro Neguro's got a rock-solid eye for this stuff!
You've got the potential to be a star!
Here I think he's got a wife, then it turns out he's got a mistress, too.
But for all that, it's not like he's a good provider or anything.
He's one strange man.
Come on, let's make a movie.
What are we to make of him, Miss?
All right! Scene 10, Cut 1 !
Ready! Start!
