We didn't choose to become creatures
like this after all.

Think you could give me a hand cleaning
this up? And in that world, things like

monsters and demons don't exist.

Doctor, do you still think Megami
Shimizu is really dead?

This is a story from long ago.

when there were still more burials and
cremations.

Once there was a little girl from a very
wealthy family.

They lived in a fashionable mansion, a
giant house with many rooms and dozens

servants to see to their every need.

The girl's life was a happy one.

She grew up in comfort with two loving
parents.

But that changed.

A strange man came to visit, and her
life was never the same.

I love you.

I would think coming here again and
again would do nothing more than

your suffering.

And what would you know about it?

You have a point.

So, am I in trouble?

Sunako requires your presence. Go to
Kanemata at once.

My dear father -in -law is dead.

And I'm the one who killed him.

I can smell it.

He's decomposing. He won't rise up.

My real parents lost themselves in a
world of alcohol and gambling.

They were frauds who skipped town to
avoid arrest.

I was only six years old when they
abandoned me.

I wanted good parents.

A loving family to call my own.

I wanted to live in a house where I knew
I belonged.

Mikiyasu gave me that.

A husband and a son to love.

I became part of their family.

His mother and father felt like my own.

I wanted them to join me.

But none of them rose up. I lost my
husband, my son, and my parents forever.

I must have gotten the ability to turn
from my biological parents.

I rose up because I was born to build.

My new family died, and I became this
thing.

They will remain a family forever.

I don't doubt that they will all rest
peacefully.

Gathered together in some serene
afterlife.

A

place that

I can never reach.

Is it because I was the one who invited
Seishiro Kirishiki to come visit?

But I wasn't the only one. Jun invited
the Kirishikis over too.

This isn't fair.

You agree, don't you, June?

Surely you see the unfairness of it. And
you feel sorry for me, right?

A summons from Kanemasa can only mean
one thing.

Punishment. Being called in by Sunako is
especially bad.

That means you're getting a severe
penalty.

In the worst case... Death.

Have a seat.

Shiki can't eat regular food like humans
do.

But they can drink liquids if they must.

Go on.

She's playing human.

You look sad.

I hear you've been unhappy ever since
you killed Natsuno Yuki.

Well, isn't that natural?

Personally, I don't believe there's
anything wrong with attacking humans.

How could you say that?

This is just systematic murder.

Self -pity isn't an attractive quality.
If you're going to feel so badly about

it, why not kill yourself?

This reminds me of a story.

A long, long time ago, when burials were
still more common than cremation, there

was a young girl who felt much the same
way you're feeling right now.

One day, she awoke to find herself in
utter darkness, trapped inside a coffin.

She cried and screamed for what felt
like forever, until at last, someone

to save her.

I attacked the man who rescued me.

She said I.

I had to. I was so incredibly hungry.

Shortly after I returned home, I was
sent off to a nameless town far away.

They kept me locked up in a storehouse.

Once a day, someone would come to bring
me food.

Every day, I attacked whoever came.

So every day a different person would
appear.

When I think back, it frightens me a
bit.

I'm certain now that in spite of what I
was, my parents were still finding a way

to feed me.

I learned a great deal during my days
inside the storehouse.

In time, I came to understand what kind
of creature I'd become.

Eventually, I ran away.

I attacked indiscriminately as I made my
way home.

But when I got there, strangers were
living in my house.

My family had moved away, so I went
looking for them.

I looked for a long, long time.

Years passed.

So many that there was no way my parents
could possibly still be alive.

Even knowing that, I kept looking.

Eventually, so much time had passed that
surely even my little sister would long

since have passed away.

I don't get it. Why would you tell me
that story?

Maybe.

Maybe because I thought you of all
people would understand that little

I thought that you might know how she
felt.

Akira, what are you doing? Get up
already.

Your breakfast is getting cold down
here.

I drank a lot of blood again today.

I better be more careful or I'm going to
gain weight.

Oh, hey!

Mr. Tanaka!

Megumi!

How could you do this to me? How could
you?

Oh, what? You mean sucking your blood?

Do you really think that you have any
room to talk?

I mean, after all, you wouldn't be
standing there unless you had done it

Come on, it's what we all do after we
first rise up.

We're given a couple of weakened humans,
and we suck their blood.

So, you killed two, right?

Otherwise, they wouldn't have let you
outside.

Who are those people?

Just a few random people kidnapped from
cities for you beginners. The newbies

always seem to have trouble attacking
people that they know.

So what'll it be?

Oh, honestly, wake up!

Starting tomorrow, you'll be the one in
charge of finding food for yourself. Got

it? What?

I think that you should get your family.

See, apparently this is a genetic thing.
You rose up, so it's very likely your

kids will, too. Aren't you lonely
without them?

What a horrible thing to even suggest.
Fine, but if you don't attack them,

somebody else will sooner or later.

And did you bite your family?

No, not a chance. I don't want those
jerks coming over.

Anyway, I gotta get going.

See you tomorrow.

Wow, women sure are scary.

My

house.

This is where I raised my family.

I made it. I came home.

They'll be glad to see me.

Please let them be glad.

So this is what it means to be shut out.

I'm not a member of the family anymore.
I can't set foot inside the house unless

one of them invites me in.

You know me.

Jeez, love. What's gotten into you all
of a sudden?

You'll wake the whole neighborhood.

Quit barking.

Sachiko.

Down here. It's me.

Ghost. Ghost.

It's me. It's your husband.

You're dead. Why is your soul haunting
us?

Satchker, please.

No, you don't belong here anymore.

We buried you. Go.

Go back to your grave.

screaming at me that's weird normally
she would have been on my case to get

of bed for over an hour now hey mom it's
past nine i'm going to school now

okay then i

heard love barking last night so what oh
no

it's megamy

I bet she's planning to kill the entire
family.

Megumi, how could she?

I'm gonna head over to Mizube. What?

Mizube? We need to stock up on amulets
and stuff again.

Today isn't school day, though.

School doesn't matter now.

Besides, what are they gonna do, Marcus
Truant? They know we just lost our

father. They'll overlook it.

Get some lumber from storage to make
steaks.

Jeez, your boss...

They killed Maximo.

They killed Dad.

And now they're after Mom, too.

I'm done waiting. It's time for a fight.

Another death. They just keep on coming.
Look, what's the Tanaka boy doing out

in the middle of the day?

Shouldn't you be in school, young man?

Mom's sick in bed and can't get out to
run errands, so she asked me to go.

Oh, you poor dear, you must be having a
tough time of it. With your father's

passing, you're the man of the house
now. Which reminds me, we've got

the wife of the hardware store owner.

How can you be laughing?

Huh? More people are dying every day,
and you all sit there laughing like it's

some kind of joke?

You're okay with doing nothing?

What? Listen here, you little... Oh,
Taro, you hush.

I'm sorry, Akira. It's not that we don't
care. We see what's happening in the

village and we truly are worried about
it. We laugh because we feel lost. Not

even the doctor knows what to do.

The village is changing somehow.

We see it happening each day, but we
don't know how to stop it, so we feel

paralyzed. One day your neighbors
suddenly disappear. The next day someone

houses down dies.

How are we supposed to act when we don't
know what we're up against? Just forget

it!

Oh. Did you hear about Ikumi's family?

Yes. She and her daughter disappeared.
It's strange, though. From what I hear,

someone's been spotted walking around in
their house at night.

Maybe they came back, then. Nuh -uh. It
isn't them.

Apparently, the intruder looked like the
late Iwao Maeda. That's ridiculous,

Takeko. Are you going senile? Hold on.
What's that?

Are the steaks ready?

That was quick.

I've only had time to make two so far.

Let's see. This is the second one. I'll
take that.

Akira, wait!

I'll do it, Natsuno.

Since the adults won't.

What do you call those little pieces of
paper?

Confetti, you forgetful old bat.

Senior moment.

Looks like practice for the Kagura dance
is getting underway.

What a bunch of idiots.

They don't even realize that soon the
village is going to be taken over by

Shiki. I'm guessing we've only got one
chance to stop them.

But we'll have to wait for it.

Catch them with their pants down when
they're almost sure they've won.

We have no choice but to wait, even if
it means more people will be attacked.

You should know I intend to annihilate
all the Sheiky. I'm not going to bother

with the negotiation.

Yes, I know.

We'll kill every single one of them.

And that includes me as well.

It'll be fine.

They only come out at night.

I've got plenty of time.

boards on the inside of the window.

They must be there to keep sunlight out.

Not soon enough.

I thought so.

This house doesn't look vacant.

But... No one's here.

Besides all the boards and plaster, I
don't see anything strange.

Curtains?

He's ice cold.

I found one.

I'm going to destroy you. All of you.

It's okay. They're murderers. They
killed not Snow and Dad and their after

I have to.

What I'm doing here isn't wrong. They're
evil monsters.

They must die!

Yami o matotte, futto toko emu

ki no seita.

Omae nado dare mo shiru hazuna, suki
dake ga

mitsumeteru.

Ah, awari no nai yoru sama yo.

Thank

you

for watching.

There can be no doubt.

The village is in serious danger from
the Shiki.

The threat is real.

We need to be saved.

Unless someone takes action, this
village will be annihilated.

And yet, I can't make peace with the
fact that my friend Toshio tortured and

killed one of the Shiki.

I can't.

What's wrong with me that I can't fight
our enemies?
