She would greet me whenever we meet.
She's really cute. I'm worried about her.
I feel sorry for her parents.
I'm shocked because I like her.
She's kind and considerate of her juniors.
We didn't hear any bad rumors about her, right?
That's right.
When an incident happens,
All kind of information spreads around all at once.
But I don't know which is true and which is not.
That is frustrated.
It's our best grade and pretty student.
What?! It's her?
Top grade, pretty face.
2 weeks?
This is serious.
I saw someone like a stalker.
It's strange.
When someone says something...
It's their 2 cents worth of thoughts on what others had said.
If it is so, isn't it just them who know the whole story?
- Oh, no! The police came. - What?! The police?!
As long as I know the truth, it will be enough.
It's not like that!
What?! It's not it?
Our classmate, Ogiwara Azusa, has been missing for 2 weeks.
Episode 01
Investigation Day 1 - Monday, April 20th
Sorry for suddenly calling you here.
Place: conference room. Time: lunch break. Person to be inquired: class 3-B, Eto Miyuri.
No. It's okay.
Ah, can she be here with us?
She's Nishizawa from my class.
I asked her to come.
Just in case, I will record this.
You suddenly called a student here alone to hear her story.
I don't know what to think about this.
Isn't this good? To guarantee fairness.
Ah...
Cherry blossom's still...
There's still some left, I guess.
That day, there were a lot of cherry blossoms.
That morning? The day Azusa disappeared?
I thought it was beautiful.
Please.
Anything will do. Will you please tell me?
Ma'am. Are you okay?
That morning, I saw her.
It was her.
Azu.
April 6th, 2015
I can barely see anything.
Class shuffle list, pink!!
Who care about the color.
What?! Someone's coming.
That morning, I came early.
I thought I had morning practice.
When I arrived at school, I realized that the gym was going to be use for school opening ceremony.
There was no one else?
It was just me.
You're with badminton club, right?
Ogiwara Azusa-san's in the same club, right?
That's right.
But Azu had quit.
During summer of 2nd year.
I wondered why she came that morning.
No morning practice?
You're too early. So diligent.
Azu...
Ah...
How was she?
"How" you said...
I saw her from a distance.
Hm~ How about in class?
Did you notice if she had any worries?
No, not at all.
She was always smiling. Right?
She looked normal.
Her grades are good, right?
That's right.
I thought Azu would go for special advance class.
Everyone thought so, right?
That's right.
Why didn't she go for it?
Do you know why?
No.
Ogiwara-san's going out with someone, right?
Ah, that would be Maruoka.
Right.
We're in the same badminton club.
The 2 of them are really on a different level.
Azu is pretty and Haru too...
Ah, it's Maruoka-kun.
Haru is handsome and smart.
He got 3rd place in badminton prefecture tournament.
Could it be their relationship didn't go well?
That... I don't think so.
Anyway...
There's no way that Azu has disappeared.
Please don't give me that.
I absolutely want her to come back.
Thank you.
How about you, Ryoko-chan?
What?!
Do you know anything?
I'm sorry.
I don't know anything.
And I can't think of anything.
That's why, I'm really worried.
She's really gone missing.
The beauty of class 3-B.
Ogiwara Azusa.
A runaway? Or kidnapped?
- The police came. This is serious. - Seeking information.
Saya.
- How did it go? - It was crazy.
I was being interrogated.
- What? - He's the police after all.
I'm really glad that Ryoko was there with me.
Hey, let me see his business card.
Oh my! He's the real thing.
Hey, is this a matter that would involve the police so soon?
If it's a child I would understand, but we're 18 already.
Yeah. But if you had seen her mother, you wouldn't have said that.
Yeah. She looked devastated. I felt sorry for her.
Azu has no one else besides her mom, right?
Yeah. Just Azu and her mother.
Yeah.
Oh, right. She said they were like twins.
You guys seem close. Hey, can you lend me that?
Her mother seemed to know you well.
Ah, during middle school, I used to come to her house.
That's why when I talked with Azu...
She said that she only had Ryoko.
But recently, I...
You didn't hear from her?
Not at all.
Thinking about it...
Maybe recently, I haven't had proper talk with Azu.
Me too.
After she quit the club, our schedule didn't match.
I didn't get involved with her as I used to be.
Yeah.
That's true.
Did she have any troubles?
I wish we had asked her.
Yeah.
But didn't you think that if it's Azu, she'll be okay?
Yeah.
With that look, good grades, and an amazing boyfriend...
And she's a good girl.
She got everything.
Her aura is different from us.
Somehow, it makes you wonder if she ever had any worries, right?
Yeah.
Well, honestly.
Hey.
Now it has involved the police...
What?! She really got kidnapped?
What?!
- Or being murdered...? - Stop that. Why would that happen to her?
Ah, sorry. Let me through.
Saya. What are you going to do today?
Hey, Yuu...
I'm not your girlfriend.
No way!
I bragged to my mother about this the other day.
I told her "My girlfriend is an amateur model".
I'm not an amateur model. And I'm not your girlfriend.
What's with your tension?! Azu's missing, you cold-hearted.
What?! She just ran away from home, right?
She probably had a fight with her parents.
Like, "Why didn't you go for special advance class?!".
She was being pestered about that, no?
Haru, you...
What?
You're hiding Azu somewhere, right?
At a hotel?!
Shabby idea.
Hey, you really don't know?
I don't know.
Aren't you worried? You're her boyfriend.
Huh? Well, yeah...
But it's over between us.
What?
Huh?
Excuse me... Does that mean you have broken up?
For real?
What? Really, really?
- When did it happen? - Ah, I forgot my textbook in the class next door.
Hey, don't just break the news and then run away.
Hey, Haru!
They broke up.
I... I didn't know.
Then maybe, she had a fight with Haru?
What?!
Even if they did, she wouldn't run away from home because of that.
You think so?
Ah, I've heard something.
What? What is it?
There was a talk about exam questions got stolen, right?
Ah, yeah.
For the final exam?
Yeah.
There's a rumor that Azu did it.
What?! No way!
Seemed like someone saw her and leaked the news.
But since they changed the questions...
They didn't make it public.
Then, the reason Azu didn't go for special advance class...
She probably got rejected?
What?!
And then she ran away?
Azu wouldn't do that.
- She... - Ah!
Ah, Ryoko's camera!
- Give it to me. - Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Is it broken?
Ah, it's okay. The power is on.
I carelessly left it here.
I'm glad.
Don't worry. It's okay.
I'm sorry.
Denpa: electromagnetic waves
What is it? What is it? Denpa-chan.
Sending messages to God?
No, it's not like that.
Right now, I...
Look! Denpa-chan's acting strangely.
So cute.
Hey, Ryoko. You're not filming us, right?
Of course not.
Come on, stop with that secret filming.
What's the fun of filming you guys?
Record me. Record me.
- Well, okay. - We're dating...
- We're not. - Yes, we are.
Yay!
Forgot something?
Ah, no. Nothing...
Nothing at all.
Okay.
I have club activities after this.
What?! I didn't ask.
I'm waiting in the club room.
I'll be there soon.
That's quick...
Eh? Ryoko?
Ah, sorry. You're waiting for someone?
Ah, no. What's up?
Can I come in?
Sure.
Ryoko's here.
You know...
What is it? What's wrong?
Knowing about it but pretending like not knowing...
As I thought, it's bit hard to bear.
I think I should tell you.
Eh? What is it?
I saw it.
That morning...
Azu and...
Miyuri.
I saw it.
That morning...
Azu and...
Miyuri.
April 6th, 2015
What is it?
I want to sleep more when there's no morning practice.
Sorry.
Well...
You know...
Before school starts...
I want to meet you.
Just the 2 of us.
What's this?
Hey, you...
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
Well, you know...
Since that day, I feel light-hearted everyday.
It's strange, right?
Maybe I'm just exaggerating it?
It's something that happens a lot.
I didn't think anything of it.
But...
Azu has disappeared.
I'm sorry for keeping silent about it.
No... I'm not judging you or anything.
Just that...
That day, Miyuri...
Sorry.
Forget about this.
S...Sorry. Really.
That's not it.
Azu isn't a good girl.
What?!
The one he liked was me.
December 24, 2014
I'm not mad at you.
It can't be helped if you like him.
But you should stop with that kind of ambush.
It's just gonna make you miserable.
Haru is out of your league, Miyuri.
He was laughing!
When he's with me...
He was laughing!
He looked happy!
Wasn't he just having fun with you?
You shouldn't get the wrong idea.
Nobody knows...
How the real Azu is like.
How could I know she would just disappear like that?!
Hey... Is it my fault?
Of course not.
I'm sure of it.
I don't know which is true and which is not.
That is frustrated.
But maybe, it's for the best.
To the extend that if we know the truth, we could nonchalantly say "I wish I didn't know"...
We are all irresponsible.
Please.
I'll do anything.
