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

All that remains is for you to decide.

Oh, thank you for coming so far today.

Here you are.

It's your fault, Dear! Here you are.

If only you hadn't bought Tatsuya that motorcycle!

What are you saying at a time like this?

It's your fault...

You told me to buy it for him, because he wanted one.

I never said that! Are you trying to blame it on me?!

l-I was against it!

Stop it, both of you.

Tatsuya...

Mom?

Mom, dinner's ready.

Why Did My Son Die? ~A record from a mother's perspective on the death of her son in a motorcycle accident~ Introduction Son - Tatsuya

No use, as expected, huh?

She's updating the homepage.

Do you still want to wait, Dad?

No, I'll eat now.

Okay.

You worked so hard to cook dinner. It's too bad.

Mom's head is too full with thoughts of Bro.

But the 49 days are over already...

It can't be helped.

You're going today, too? It's raining.

Mom.

Again?

Yeah.

Night after night...

Going to the accident site when Tatsuya's accident happened...

Accident Prone Zone Going to the accident site when Tatsuya's accident happened...

Accident Prone Zone What point is there in doing that?

What point is there in doing that?

Why, Tatsuya?

You're going to catch a cold.

Let's go home.

What do you plan to do?

Who's there?!

Hell Girl?

Then, this...

It really was my brother...

Yes.

I gave that to your big brother.

By untying that red thread, the person enters into a covenant with me.

The object of their vengeance is immediately banished to Hell.

However, once they have their retribution,

they have to pay the price for it as well.

Curses come home to roost.

If they enter into the covenant, their soul will also go to Hell.

That's only after they die, though.

The covenant has yet to be established.

Who was my brother...

Who was he trying to banish to Hell?

You must know who.

Could I use this, too?

Here they come!

Mrs. Mogi, how did it go?!

Please give us a comment! Mrs. Mogi, how did it go?!

Please give us a comment!

Please give us a comment! Did the city give you any sort of answer regarding your son's death?

Did the city give you any sort of answer regarding your son's death?

No.

So you did not receive a clear answer?

What are your thoughts on how the city is handling this?

Do you believe that if the city had properly maintained the roads,

your son would never have been in such an accident?

Mrs. Mogi, what are your thoughts?

Um, excuse me, please let us through.

How about it, Mrs. Mogi?

Excuse me...

Some say the accident was due to your son's own error.

Tatsuya was not at fault! The road was to blame!

Tatsuya was killed!

Mom...

What about you, as his younger sister?

Do you also believe that your big brother was killed?

Please, let us through.

Wait!

Please let us hear your thoughts as his younger sister!

Do you also share your mother's feelings?

What do you think, as his younger sister?

Please let us through! Please let us through!

Please!

Please, Mrs. Mogi! Please!

Please, Mrs. Mogi!

I'm going to go to school in the afternoon.

I've taken a few too many days off anyway

and my friends on the track and field team are worried, too.

Here.

You should eat a little something.

Mom?

Tatsuya!

No, Mom, that's not him...

Tatsuya!

Mom!

Mom!

Come on, Mom!

Nice jump!

Hello.

This is who I am.

Oriental News Agency Ren Ishimoto This is who I am.

Oriental News Agency Ren Ishimoto

Oh, wait! Come on, Emi!

I have nothing to say to you.

Aw, hold on a second.

If you keep this up, I'll call the police!

Tatsuya was killed!

and there are previous reports

of collisions between cars and bicycles in that location.

Examining the Treacherous Curve

Examining the Treacherous Curve And unfortunately, on this occasion, it resulted in a fatal accident?

Examining the Treacherous Curve

Yes.

So, Mrs. Mogi's complaint is that the fault lies with the city

for neglecting this treacherous curve, correct?

Yes.

However, the city has yet to respond in a proper and sincere manner.

That must be so disheartening for Mrs. Mogi.

No words can express how it fills me with bitterness!

In the old days, she might be taking a spike to the shrine.

"You will pay for what you did to my child!"

My brother was everything to my mother, so...

Huh?

Please excuse me.

Oh...

It was a bad idea to have you play a news reporter.

Hone Onna...

Are you okay?

Hm? What do you mean?

What? Oh, nothing.

You've always been so good at that.

It's the one hobby I've got, after all.

Remember how we used to go to the riverbank together all the time?

Things sure were fun back then.

Yeah.

Dear...

Make copies of this flier right away.

300 copies, okay?

Sure, I'll go.

What are you doing?! I told you to hurry!

So laid back, making stuff like this!

Mom!

You don't care about Tatsuya at all, do you, Dear?!

That's not true...

Tatsuya will never be able to rest in peace at this rate.

It's because Tatsuya used to like these...

He didn't like any of that stuff!

Throw it all away!

Dad...

Your mother's in a lot of pain...

Yeah, I know...

Does that taste good?

Well?

I want that one!

Yuck.

Yes?

What?!

Road maintenance! The city is initiating road work!

I just got the call!

I'm so glad! It was all worth the effort!

Don't you think so, Emi?

What? Oh, yeah. Don't you think so, Emi?

What? Oh, yeah.

They're holding a press conference tomorrow.

Oh, that reminds me!

I need to report this on the homepage.

Mom...

Dad!

Yeah.

Looks like she won't have to untie the thread.

Yeah.

What is it? You look unhappy.

Nah, it's nothing.

Let's make the National Athletic Meet a success

Mom, we made a reservation at a restaurant for tonight.

What?

A restaurant.

Let's have dinner together, the three of us with Dad.

Oh, l-I see. All right.

Taking the above road conditions into consideration,

it has been decided that there will be construction to expand the north road

along with maintenance work on the surrounding roads.

For the city's part,

plenty of consideration has been given to the residents' safety,

but for the sake of building an even better community,

the city has set its sights higher

and embarked on this effort at road maintenance.

Hold on a second!

Are you saying there were no problems with the road?!

That the city was in no way responsible?!

I have not been briefed on any matter concerning responsibility.

Then, what are your thoughts on Tatsuya Mogi's accident?

With regards to the accident, that falls under the police's purview,

so I have no comments for you on that matter.

If there are no other questions, that is all.

Oh, please wait a moment!

Please wait a moment! Oh, please wait a moment!

Please wait a moment!

That is just wrong!

Are you running away?!

Is this how the city should be handling this?!

There are also rumors

that the mayor is in collusion with the construction industry!

Are you aware of the rumors that industrial waste

was delivered to the south town landfill without authorization?!

Director! Please wait, Director!

They're going to make improvements to the road that was the problem,

This is no good. They're going to make improvements to the road that was the problem,

They won't get away with this. They're going to make improvements to the road that was the problem,

They won't get away with this. so all your hard work's going to pay off, Mom.

so all your hard work's going to pay off, Mom.

There won't be any more accidents now.

I'm sure Bro is happy in Heaven...

Excuse me! Please make a u-turn! We're going home! I'm sure Bro is happy in Heaven...

Excuse me! Please make a u-turn! We're going home!

Why?!

The three of us are going together tonight to...

Hurry, driver!

Mom?! Oh, yes, ma'am.

I'll be damned if they put an end to it like this!

Congratulations! We can breathe easy now Once again may he rest in peace Administration has finally heard the residents You did it! Good work A satisfactory response May Tatsuya rest in peace in Heaven I'll be damned if they put an end to it like this!

Congratulations Let us continue to watch over the city's responses Congratulations I'm glad for you I'm glad for you! In commemoration Congrats! I'll be damned if they put an end to it like this!

I'll be damned if they dodge the issue!

Emi, try to be understanding.

To your mom, the important thing is who's at fault for Tatsuya's death.

Important?

Then what about us?

Does that mean she doesn't care about us?

Emi.

Bro is dead already!

Bro died in an accident...

There's no culprit in this...

Isn't that right, Dad?!

It's messed up! This is just messed up!

I know it's messed up!

I know!

Wait! Please listen to me! Don't you think it'll be bad if you don't take some measures soon?

Wait a minute! Don't you think it'll be bad if you don't take some measures soon?

Wait a minute!

No one in the media will pay attention to your brother now.

Mr. Ishimoto...

I heard you quit the track and field team?

Why?

From now on, you're the one who has to work hard

to bring joy to your mother.

My mom won't be happy, even if I work hard.

What?

It was like that before this, too.

No matter how many tournaments I won,

my mom never even congratulated me.

Only my brother exists for her.

All she wants is my brother.

To my mom, my brother is all there is to our family.

Emi...

Please excuse me.

Wh-Why is this thing?

Mom?

What's all this? Where did you get it?

A person who saw the homepage said they'd publish a book about Tatsuya.

I'm going to use this money to have them make the book.

That's so much money...

Did you borrow it?

All of Japan is going to know what a wonderful son Tatsuya was!

Isn't that fantastic?!

I'm going to have them put tons of photos in it, too.

Mom...

Oh...

Just you wait, Tatsuya.

That belongs to you now.

All that remains is for you to decide.

That's right. It'd be impossible with foundation. Mom, turn down the volume of the TV.

That's right. It'd be impossible with foundation.

You have to change it from the inside out.

Tatsuya... You have to change it from the inside out.

You have to change it from the inside out.

What?! From the inside out?!

Mom! What?! From the inside out?!

Oh, Dad. What?! From the inside out?!

Oh, Dad.

Hey, Dad, Mom went and borrow all that money!

Money? Then maybe we'll sell the house.

What?

If that's not enough, you can work.

I'm done for.

What... are you saying?

I'm sick of this.

I'm just...

...sick of it all.

Tatsuya...

Tatsuya...

Knock it off!

Mom, turn the TV off!

My dear Tatsuya...

Mom!

Tatsuya...

I've tried so hard...

I tried so hard, thinking it'd make Mom happy...

You're going to the pass again?

Mom's going to get worried.

That's why I'm going.

She's so annoying if I'm at home.

Telling me what to do about every little thing!

I'm not Mom's doll, damn it!

I can't wait until she's gone.

If only Mom weren't around, our family would be great.

You shouldn't say things like that.

You wouldn't understand, Emi.

I didn't... want to understand.

Your grievance has been heard.

Where am I?

You are going to Hell.

Hell?

Will I get to see Tatsuya?

No, you probably...

I'm so happy! I get to see Tatsuya!

Tatsuya, I'm coming!

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

It seems you are hated, Ms. Shoko Baba.

Yes, so it seems.

Tough love...
