The onboard staff are all missing.
We've located seven of eighty-two passengers.
Four show signs of Apathy Syndrome.
So only three made it out safely.
I'm not sure about that.
And by that?
As we confirmed their identities, their claims and the facts don't add up.

Megumi-san, you were amazing!
Thanks for coming, everyone.
It's kinda sad this is your last performance.
There's an official show coming up, right?
It would be a bother if us seniors stuck around for too long.
The show in the fall is for the underclassmen. Plus...
I think today's show was the best performance I've done.
You look like you got over something while we were in Yatsuo.
Huh? Oh...
Yeah.
Megumi-san, can you teach me how to dance sometime?
Huh? I didn't know you were interested in dancing.
Yeah, just a little...
Then once you're in 10th grade, you should join the club.
I know it's called the "club," but we're still not official.
Will you join them and make it happen?
But Jun, they're all girls.
It might motivate other boys to join if Jun-kun does.
Yeah, don't ruin this, Takuro. You're terrible at dancing, anyway.
Shut up!
Them?
I heard there are more and more lately.
They're being called the "Vanishing Wills."
Vanishing?
You know the news about people disappearing at Toyama Bay every so often?
Those who've lost their will to live go to the shore and wait to get taken away.
It's kinda scary.
It's like everyone is falling into apathy.
It... reminds me of ten years ago.
You were still living here then, right?
Huh? Yeah...
But I... don't remember much about that day.
Sorry for bringing it up...
Huh? No, I mean, seriously...
Takuro?
What's wrong?
Hey.
U-umm... What?
It's me.
Did you forget? It's Takuro. I'm your...
Um, my name is Mizutani, and...
H-hey, Takuro!?
Hey, what's wrong!?
Sorry... It's nothing. I got the wrong person.
...Um, we're sorry.
Sorry.
Hey, Takuro!?
How did it go?
You can't tell by looking at him,
but his personality and consciousness have been replaced by none other than that
of temporary chief Kubo's missing brother-in-law, Sema Yuko-san's husband.
However, his body is of a completely different person.
According to the family of Asano Takuma-san,
the submarine crewman who disappeared half a year ago during the ocean development...
It was definitely his body.
Over here, too.
Nagai from Hiiragi Pharmaceutical, who showed a small sign of Apathy Syndrome,
was found in Uotsu and taken into custody yesterday.
He turned into a different person during the interrogation.
We thought he was acting at first, but...
Just like the remaining ferryboat passengers...
Did you get to ask anything while Nagai was himself?
Nothing major.
But the means of communication between him and the Marebito was through an illegal drug forum.
His act of betrayal to Hiiragi came from a disagreement about how everything was handled,
and then jumping onto the anti-president bandwagon against Hiiragi.
Apparently, he was trying to raise funds to negotiate with others.
To be safe, I will have him confirm the culprits in the kidnapping case half a year ago.
Even if they were instigated by him, it will be impossible to prove in his current state, however...
I don't intend to go back.
What was the point of getting out of the group to continue with the research?
We're just repeating the same mistake.
There are inevitable sacrifices, but many are unnecessary!
Do not forget you're still human.
Onii...oniichan.
I went and ventilated the house. It's all locked up, too.
Oh, thanks!
A Whale's Feather?
Yeah, I've been thinking about it lately.
The feathers were there... at the shoreline.
Yeah.
That was Takuro-san's dad.
What?
The person who left Takuro-san when he was little...
You sense all those things, huh?
Huh?
Doesn't it get tough for you?
It sounds hard to keep everything to yourself when you know so much.
I'm glad you told me about Takuro. He was acting strange, even for him.
Otherwise, I would've asked him about it later.
Oniichan, right now...
Ayane-chan...
The Whale is scared.
Your dad?
Yeah.
That man earlier?
He was a good-for-nothing.

When I was five, I was watching the Cycloid V's live show...
Cycloid V?
It's an effect-heavy hero story from long ago.
The re-runs became popular when we were little.
I've seen it a few times before.
So, since then...
Yeah... My mom couldn't get over him for a while, but as soon as she got a new boyfriend...
Sorry, you wouldn't wanna hear something like this.
It's fine.
If you wanna talk about it, we'll listen anytime.
Yup. And if you don't wanna, that's fine, too.
Right?
Anyway, I didn't think he would act like that.
I shouldn't have stopped him.
By the way, your dad seemed rather young.
Oh... Now that you mention it...
Takuro?
Is that you, Takuro?
Um, yes, I'm Sakakiba Takuro.
I knew it! It's me, Takuro!
Y-you're?
Your dad.
You've grown so much.
But that fried-noodle-ish hair of yours...
H-hey, wait a sec, lady! You're joking.
Um, let's go.
O-okay.
Takuro!
I wanted you-
About Cycloid V-
The Whale is ill.
That day... this city and the sea connected with the Whale.
The Whale can feel them.
The unbelievable distortion, created through force by people, and the pain...
I was one of them, too.
The Whale is the Sea of Psyche.
It lies quietly and deeply, down in everyone and everything.
This is the scab.
The Whale's screaming.
...Is my brother with you?
He's with the Whale.
He doesn't want anything... He wishes for everything to disappear.
The scab?
The Whale's... screaming?
What's up, Jun?
Oniichan, um...
Excuse me.
Does Sakakiba Takuro attend this academy?
Takuro is my roommate in the dorms.
Really? I'm glad.
I'm Takuro's...
Nevermind... Can you give this to him?
The dorms are nearby.
Isn't he at work now?
Oh, you're right.
I would just confuse him. Plus, I can't possibly show my face to him now.
But especially because of that, this gave me the courage...
U-um...
But...
It looks like I don't have much time.
...Can't be.
See ya.
I'll walk you out.
Hey, welcome back.
I'm back!
What's that, Kanzato-kun?
It's from some lady I've never seen before.
Is it a gift?
No, she wanted me to give it to Takuro.
I didn't understand what she was talking about, but she seemed serious.
Was that lady tall and pretty?
Was she wearing a pink jacket?
Yeah, something like that.
She might actually be Takuro-kun's father.
Something similar to what happened by Toyama Bay is happening in the city.
The missing people are returning... but their body and psyche aren't matching up.
We've confirmed cases
where Apathy Syndrome patients possess memories and personalities of those missing.
What does that?
This is beyond belief.
Our common understanding is the body and psyche are indivisible.
Some kind of distortion is occurring, somewhere deep and unseen to us.
That is...
an abnormal distortion.
It's like a calm sea starting to grow hazardous.
But I have no idea why it's happening here or at Toyama Bay.
What's wrong?
Oh, no, nothing.
You get lost in thought too, huh?
Sometimes, but not as often as you.
I don't know what's been bothering you,
but try to be careful when you're walking around or ringing up customers.
Takuro!
Hey, what's up, guys?
This...
What is it?
I got it from someone claiming to be your dad.
You know, that lady from earlier today.
Sakakiba-kun, is that?
It's Cycloid V, right?
Th-that's one of the original versions... Cool!
Takuro... That lady might actually be your dad.
I don't really know, but...
She might really be.
I keep thinking that.
I got into it after he made me watch the rental videos.
Every time my mom was fed up with it, he would claim that Cycloid V is "deep."
How stupid.
Who cares about such an idiot dad?
Takuro...
I'm sure he'll be back if he needs something.
Time is running out.
That's what she was saying.
What the hell?
I don't know... but I think she meant, like, she can't stay for too long.
Takuro... how did you?
It's not fair.
I can't beat you up when you look like that.
How have you been since then?
Right here...
I left you.
How could you ask that?
I lived with Grandma.
She passed away during the string of accidents back then.
Uncle's family moved here.
They let me stay with them until I finished middle school, but...
Were they cold to you?
At home and school? All because of me...
Let's not.
Since I changed my hair, punks stayed away.
Enough about me.
Mom wanted to be with you.
No matter how hard it would've been.
The one who made her that way was...
You took on everything by yourself and disappeared.
The debt wasn't even yours to repay.
I'm sorry.
Oh! Right...
You know...
You set an example for me not to follow.
I'll never make the love of my life cry.
I'll never betray the people who believe in me.
I see... That's good.
It's time to say goodbye, Takuro.
Dad?
I'm glad we got to see each other, in the end.
Thank you, Takuro...
Take this!
You're the one who likes this!
I'm not that...
Cycloid V is deep, Takuro.
How is it deep?
Should we watch it?
Wanna have a little get-together?
You guys can use my room.
I wanna see, too.
Me, too!
Then, should we stop by the-
Yeah, the rental shop, right?
No... we can go straight back.
I have the DVDs.
