And the same illness is spreading through the village.

Where there is intent, there is a reason. I killed again. I'm so sorry.

Maybe I thought you of all people would understand that little girl. Catch them

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

You'd think there was a better option? I had to make a decision.

I've made my decision, Stacey. I've chosen.

So, what about you?

What would you do?

The End

Please, go away.

Don't come near me.

Please, don't look at me.

Are you... Are you Torumoto?

Just stop talking!

Would you please come out into the light?

No, I can't.

How can I possibly face you?

He's dead.

I killed him.

Natsuno. He was my best friend.

You have to know that I didn't want to.

But they threatened my family.

I had to choose between their lives and Natsuno's life.

You were forced. You had no choice.

Except Natsuno gave me a choice. He said we could run, find a solution.

No, I can't make excuses for all the horrible things that I've done. Just now

attacked somebody else.

I don't want to kill, but I get so hungry.

And if I don't eat, I know I'll die.

So then I lose all control.

I kill even without being ordered to. When you get that hungry, murder doesn't

seem quite so immoral. You have to kill, even if the victim is your best friend.

I'm not going to make excuses anymore.

I'm sorry.

Please, leave me alone.

Forget we even had this conversation.

Or I don't know what I'd do.

I'd have to... People may think what you've done is wrong, and

maybe they're right.

But who can blame you for wanting to live?

It's natural to fight for your life.

No matter who you are, the thought of death is a terrible thing.

No death is particularly terrible.

Junior Monk!

What's the matter?

It's Pseudomy. He passed away.

What happened?

Apparently he had a bad liver. His wife just called to inform us.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

I should go see his family right away.

Well...

Everyone at the temple is so busy.

I'd prefer if you don't tell them that I'm in the hospital.

Oh, and if I die, then I want the funeral home to bury me.

It was so strange.

I don't see why he wouldn't want us to send him off.

That is odd.

What is it? What's wrong?

I'll get some men and go check the area.

Hold on. Let's think here.

Given my father's poor health, I doubt he could have gone far.

Please, call the police first.

Right.

Sir, I hope you'll excuse me for writing to you before we had been properly

introduced.

I'm sending this letter because I would like to make your acquaintance.

More specifically, I would like to invite you into my house.

I would ask that you not enter my wife's room or my son's room.

Please come directly to my room, which you can access from the outside.

You are welcome to come any time you'd like.

I'll be waiting for you.

Just a nude welcoming them to the village.

He sent an invitation.

Seiji. Yes?

Did you find something?

No, nothing.

There was another death yesterday.

Junko from the Yasumori family.

Apparently she passed away.

But... That doesn't make sense. As far as I knew, she never even came into the

clinic. No.

It seems more people are going to the new Avery Clinic instead of coming here.

The patients themselves are requesting it.

I wonder why.

Don't worry.

I'm sure it won't last forever.

Doc's working hard. He'll get our patients back.

Okay?

So when did she start showing symptoms?

It was this morning.

Dr. Ozaki, I heard a rumor that's going around the village.

Is this really some sort of epidemic?

No, that's not the case. What?

It's not an epidemic?

Then... Tell me the truth.

Will she live?

How many more?

How many more innocents will die?

How long must we wait?

Doctor?

What is it?

Back inside, you said there wasn't an epidemic.

What did you mean by that?

Well, nothing.

Nothing in particular.

I was thinking, is it possible that Ty...

What's the matter?

Sorry, it was nothing really.

Excuse me.

My father must have already figured out what the Kirishikis truly are.

He confirmed that the Okiagari are responsible for the recent deaths.

You look familiar.

I saw you at Ms. Shimizu's funeral, didn't I?

Yes, that's right. My name is Kaori Tanaka.

Um, I wanted to ask you something.

Certainly.

And what is it?

I need a posthumous name. Could you give me one?

I don't understand.

My mother passed away.

That my dad died.

And now my little brother has disappeared.

I'm next.

I'm sure of it.

I want to make sure everything's ready for my death.

So I need a posthumous name.

You can do that, can't you?

Yes.

There are people who receive such names before death. Give me one!

afraid of Megami?

Yes.

I've already dug my grave.

But I have to put my posthumous name on the marker.

And I have no idea how to come up with a proper one. So could you... Could you

please... No one knows for sure when they're going to

die.

That includes you, too. You could die tomorrow or live for years to come.

The important thing is that you never give up.

However much time you think you have on this earth, make the most of it.

I'm the

last one who should be giving this girl advice.

Is that something you want on your head, Stacene?

I can't allow their contamination to spread unchecked. You say I'm lonely,

you seem very alone yourself.

I can't.

You are certainly the romantic, aren't you?

You have a phone call.

It's the mistress at the temple.

Oh.

Yes, thanks for waiting.

Oh, Toshio, good.

Um, is Seishin with you up at the clinic?

Seishin? Why?

But no, he's not.

What's wrong?

He, uh... Seishin's missing?

No, I haven't heard from him.

Of course.

Goodbye.

What now?

What answer have you found?

Jeez, these old bones are tired.

Dance practice is important, but I think we might be overdoing it. The streets

sure are deserted this late at night, aren't they?

I was totally surprised.

You should have seen your face.

Good evening.

Good evening, boys.

Those are cheerful young fellows.

Who are they again?

Ritsuko here.

Ritsuko, I need help.

What is it, Kiyomi?

I'm being held hostage in my house.

Hostage? Wait, what are you saying?

Kiyomi, hello? Are you still there?

That's the heel tower boy. I organized his funeral.

Ozaki Clinic.

It's Ritsuko.

Yes? What's wrong?

Kiyomi called and said she was in trouble.

I'll get her there now.

Wait, hold on, Ritsuko!

Oh, please let me in.

They're after me.

Oh, if it isn't Takatoshi. Hello.

Oh,

hello, ma 'am.

Oh,

you've moved back into the village? Yeah, it's a lot nicer down here than

up in the mountains. You moved too, then?

Yes, thank goodness.

And fortunately, my husband... and rose up after I did.

How lucky. I'm happy for you both.

Bye. You young men, make sure and be careful, you hear me?

All of them.

They're all okay, honey.

I promised I came to pay you a little visit.

Are you glad you see me?

I don't recall promising to be polite.

You thought my intentions weren't pure.

And here I'd thought that we'd become the best of friends.

That's a special.

Quite skilled, don't you think?

Yeah, he's a hell of a shot.

What I don't understand is why he stays with you if he's human. What's this?

Curious about us?

No. Not especially.

He stays of his own free will. Just like Mr.

Muroi.

Oh, you didn't know? He paid a visit to Sunako this very evening.

Betrayed by your best friend. How sad.

Are you shocked?

No.

I thought that he might do something like that.

His idiocy doesn't surprise me at all.

You're a stubborn one.

No, I just know Seishin very well.

Stop it.

What? Are you going to start begging for your life?

Yeah, I am.

See, I'm not ready to die.

Not quite yet.

I want the rest of the village to die first.

How many dozens of deaths have we had since summer?

And what did everybody else in the village do about it?

They said it was strange and then sat on their hands waiting for someone to find

an answer.

Well, I found one.

But they yammered on about rationalism and dismissed me without considering it.

Just like that.

I've had enough of them.

I'm sick of people not seeing the truth right in front of their faces.

So what now?

I want to know what happens to people who only choose to accept the truth when

it's convenient for them. I want to see this through.

My, you are interesting.

I just adore a man who can keep me entertained.

So, what now?

I like you very much, Doctor.

And when I like a man, I don't let him go easily.

I make him mine.

Destroy all the data you've collected.

Revive every patient's chart as I instruct you to.

From now on, you'll obey us unconditionally, dear.

Thank you.

Those who fear punishment learn quickly how to behave.

If reprisal isn't likely, they will simply do whatever they want.

The case is different for those who don't fear punishment, because there is

nothing to keep them in check.

They don't act with consideration of the future.

They take what they want, feeding their inner hunger.
