Those eyes are imprisoned by death.
They close themselves in darkness when they reject everything.
They think of life,
and they open when they accept everything.
What does he see with those eyes,
and what will he choose?
That's...
Eleventh Carving: 「Hirose」
Is that it?
Is that all your hatred amounts to?
I'm the daughter of the Kohinatas.
We're the ones who ruined this village... and your families.
As long as I'm alive, your hatred won't disappear.
As long as a Kohinata is alive, we'll continue to bring misfortune.
If you want it that badly, you'll get it!
You...
You should be grateful that we let you stay in this village!
Don't be so full of yourself!
You, you... I'll kill you...
S-Stop it! She'll die!
Be quiet.
Hey, what are you doing?
Hey, are you all right?
Yui...
Kohinata!
Mind your own business.
Kohinata!
Hirose.
I thought I'd meet you if I came here.
I'm sorry.
I said some strange things.
But that's not what I meant.
What I wanted to say was...
Stop lying.
Lying?
In fact, you've just been tolerating me.
You want to release your hatred for me.
That's...
The Kohinata family is the reason your mother is dead.
The Kohinata family drove your mother to suicide.
Stop it.
That wasn't your fault.
I'm the same as them!
I'm a Kohinata, like the ones who killed your mother!
The hatred and anger that are bottled up inside you...
You can just let them out on me!
The anger of having your mother stolen from you.
Come on!
Yes, I'll accept it.
I'll accept everything, before you break.
Stop it, stop it!
Why?! Why did you kill her?!
Why... did you kill her?!
Why?!
Hayami-chan...
Did I...
I...
What do you mean?
I said you have my permission to interact with Hirose's son, as Hotaru.
I don't know what's going on in your mind,
but Hirose-sama is with Hayami-chan.
That's over.
Any moment now.
This is really a bother. You can't just barge in-
Yui-san.
Come with me, now.
Just stay still like that.
Where is Hirose?
The doctor said that Hirose hasn't regained consciousness yet.
But he said that nothing was wrong physically.
I see.
How did this...
It's... better if he hates me.
Then Hirose can live without pain.
But...
There's no way he could hate you.
Hirose-sama loves you.
Hayami-chan!
Hayami-chan, please don't go!
My mother's death had nothing to do with you!
I know that!
I know!
Then you have to accept it.
You have to accept it.
Everything.
Mother...
Mother!
You won't be able to catch her.
As long as you chase death, you'll never escape this place.
The mother who left you behind...
The mother who let go of your hand...
You can't forgive your mother.
No...
No!
Accept everything.
Don't let death imprison you.
If you do that, your eyes...
and your heart...
No!
NO!
Hirose-sama.
Hotaru-chan.
Thank goodness.
Hey, Hirose has woken up!
Really?
You really know how to make others worry.
I'm going back now. I need to finish up in the fields.
Hirose-sama, are you in pain anywhere?
No...
That's good.
For now, would you like something to drink?
Oh yeah...
Um...
Um... I...
My...
eyes...
I can't see anymore.
Hey, did you hear?
Hirose-kun is still claiming that he could see!
You're kidding!
No!
At school and at home.
No way.
That's impossible.
Yeah!
I wonder what happened?
There don't seem to be any changes.
I can only guess he wanted to see so much that he imagined he could.
Hey, Oji-san.
Where is that photo we took at the beach?
Wait a sec.
This one?
Am I there?
Yep, right in the middle.
My eyes... are open, right?
I mean, I saw this photo.
They were open.
Ah, I know.
The time is 11:12am.
This.
Look.
I took notes during class.
I could see the blackboard.
Right?
Taku-bou... um...
And I drew some pictures.
The time is 11:13am.
See? I drew this picture from what I saw.
Taku-bou, I think you should lie down...
It's true!
I could see!
Back then... I... I...
I wouldn't peep...
I guess so.
I'm sorry.
That was...
Your friends said they'd stop by after school.
As always, you're popular with the girls.
No.
Eh?
I don't want them to come.
I see.
I think he'll improve after a while.
Sorry about this.
Even though I picked this pumpkin just for him.
You can take it back.
Eh?
It's heavy. Let's chuck it.
You sinners!
Hayami-chan.
Where is Hirose?
Where are you going?
To look for a house.
I just keep being a burden to everyone here.
I told you not to worry about that.
Your injuries haven't even healed yet.
If you throw it away, I'll punish you!
I'm just going to look.
Then take it yourself!
Okay.
It's not heavy!
Ojii-sama.
My, my, everyone's gathered.
Do you need something?
I have something to ask Hozumi-san.
I'd like you to hear this too.
So she has become a member of this house?
She's an important friend to Taku-bou.
Although, Takuma-kun seems to be suffering quite a lot, thanks to her.
Ojii-sama.
I reported this incident to his parents' home.
What?
Hirose-sama, Takuma-kun's grandfather, is very worried.
He said he didn't want a Kohinata to kill his grandson in addition to his only daughter.
And so, Hirose-sama wants to create a separation from the Kohinatas.
You think I'll believe that?
There is also a consensus in the village.
Kohinata is nothing but a nuisance now.
Very well, if that's the case, then...
Be quiet.
Do not think you may speak to me.
Know your place.
Ojii-sama.
You be quiet.
Hirose-sama.
Huh? This is...
Are you all right?
Oji-san, wasn't the bathroom this way?
I don't know, since I can't see anything.
Come, it's this way.
How many must you kill before you're satisfied, demon?
The time is 3:08am.
It's the middle of the night.
No, I've already decided.
But, this late at night?
By tomorrow morning, I might be the cause of further trouble.
Trouble?
Thank you very much.
Hey!
Hayami-chan!
HAYAMI-CHAN!
Hold on! Hey!
Taku!
What are you doing?
Hayami-chan!
Come on, calm down.
Hayami-chan!
Taku-bou!
Hayami-chan!
There is nothing else... I can...
Hotaru-chan?
Why are you here this late?
Where is Hayami-chan?!
She just left...
Why now?
Perfect timing...
I'll look for her. You go to Taku-bou...
Hirose-sama!
Please, stop Hayami-chan!
Hotaru-chan?
She's trying to leave the village.
She's trying to disappear from our lives.
I can't.
I wouldn't know where to go.
And I don't know the roads...
or the direction.
I can't do anything.
Don't say that!
But, I never saw anything.
Everything I saw and thought, everything I remember doing...
All of it was a lie.
Every bit of it.
You might just be an illusion.
Illusion?
There is no Hinata-chan or Hotaru-chan.
There is no Hayami-chan, or even this village...
It's all an illusion I made up in my head.
That's why it was fun.
That's why so many good things happened.
I'm a person that isn't allowed to be happy.
There is no one that isn't allowed to be happy.
Hayami-chan, and you...
That hurt.
I'm sorry.
The time is 4:01am.
I'm sorry.
Move.
As you wished, I'm leaving the village.
Really?
You might come back.
To destroy the village!
No one will care where a Kohinata who left the village went.
Even if you disappear without a trace.
Damn it.
After her!
I'm sorry.
Wait!
Don't think you can get away!
I thought you'd come.
Apparently you were called a cockroach at school.
What a good name.
No matter how many times we step on you, you keep damaging the village.
Do it.
What's the matter? Hurry up!
Are you too frightened? You fools.
Die.
I'll protect her.
Hirose.
I'll protect her. I will.
My mother.
I finally found it under the sky.
I will always be running.
I don't mind if I find nothing.
I don't mind if I reach nothing.
I don't mind if I see nothing.
Twelfth Carving: 「H2O」
I have a place to return to.
The next episode is finally the last episode!
