Original subtitles

It sounds ridiculous.

But once you see it…

the shadows are taking over people.

We need to warn Shiori!

The shadows are coming to kill, and it isn't a superstition!

She's in danger!

Shiori Kobayakawa also saw her shadow. She's in danger.

Let's go to her place now!

But…

I cannot let Mio get anywhere near that danger.

I'm going alone.

DRIFTING ASHORE

KOBA MART YOMOGIMOCHI

The store is closed. This is bad. Nothing changed.

Hey!

Is that you, Shinpei?

Mrs. Shiomi!

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Aw, thank you. Uh… Good morning.

We have no convenience stores here. It's not like Tokyo, eh?

Well, I like this store. They have green tea ice cream.

A little taste of home?

It looks closed today, though.

That's odd. They never said they'd be closed.

3RD GRADE, CLASS 1 SHIORI KOBAYAKAWA

Hey, Koba? Open up!

That's strange. Are they out?

They left it open. Koba? Are you there?

Is it okay to go in like this?

Don't worry.

Koba?

Huh? They even left the TV on.

Koba?

Koba?

This is weird. Koba!

Shadows.

Shadows did this.

Totsumura's shadow did the same to him.

Didn't you anticipate this? You could have done something.

You could have saved them.

Stop it! They're monsters.

I refuse to get killed again.

All I can do is warn people and closely observe things.

So what did you find out from observing?

The food is untouched and cold. They were probably attacked yesterday…

at dinnertime.

There are marks on the floor as if someone punched it with great force.

What happened here?

Mrs. Shiomi, I'm going to look upstairs.

Okay! Thanks!

Judging from the size of the two dark stains, they must have been adults.

Probably Shiori's parents.

Then where is Shiori?

Hey.

Ah! That's it.

Did you see a girl who looked just like you?

Why did you ask me that yesterday?

It's something I didn't do last time.

You kept staring. Was something on my face?

Or was there something weird about my body?

No doubt about it.

Shiori.

The shadow at the funeral was Shiori Kobayakawa.

You got your voice back! Are you better?

That was such a stupid question.

Oh…

Papa and Mama told me not to say anything.

Are you going to answer… uh, never mind.

No need to answer.

I'll ask later.

I caught the shadow sickness.

No…

I had it from the beginning!

Shinpei!

So? Is anyone up here?

What is it? You have a stomachache?

No.

I guess Mrs. Shiomi just saved my life.

After Mrs. Shiomi called the police, I left the Kobayakawa home.

If I do nothing until noon, the same thing will happen.

That woman who I met on the ferry knows something.

Maybe I can save her.

I haven't seen her this time…

because the day started at the port.

She had too much luggage for a day trip.

I'll check the hotels on the island.

A suit?

Yes. She was wearing a suit, and had long hair.

Well…

She had glasses.

Oh…

Have you seen her?

I'm not sure. Many guests come this season.

Also…

She had huge… well…

Ah! Her!

I remember her! She came here.

You asked me this morning.

You were looking for this woman with glasses and big boobs.

Huh?

But she didn't stay overnight.

She just came to the cafe in the late afternoon.

You should check out our cafe too.

In the end, that woman didn't stay anywhere…

and I couldn't find her.

Maybe there's not much I can do alone.

BISTRO KOFUNE

LUNCH SPECIALS

Welcome…

Shinpei, how was it? How is Shiori?

Oh… yeah.

Ah!

Welcome!

Totsumura.

It's so damn hot… Hey!

Shinpei! What's with that call last night? You lied!

What violent outburst…

Your usual Lunch Special with fried shrimp and medium rice?

You know me well.

Huh? Disappeared?

The entire Kobayakawa family?

Yup.

Really? Shinpei?

Yes.

I heard you went inside with Mrs. Shiomi.

Oh… yes.

Tell me about it later.

That's odd. I just talked to Kobayakawa yesterday.

Right? I really can't go into details yet…

but a detective is coming on the first ferry this afternoon.

His response is different.

Good, it's probably because I stopped his shadow from killing him.

This is the real Totsumura!

Oh yeah, I had to give you this. Here.

That's my sister's.

Ushio came to see me the day before she died…

and she asked me to keep it for her.

She said to give it to you if anything happened to her.

Ushio left this for me?

It was like she knew…

what would happen to her.

Things are intricately complex.

Hi Shinpei. Sorry, was I too early?

No, I was waiting for you.

I can trust Sou. I'll tell him everything.

So that's why I think…

You think Shiori's shadow killed Ushio, right?

Ah, yes.

The ligature marks tell she was strangled, and only one person was with her.

Is it after Mio next?

Yes.

Can we tell shadows apart from people just by looking at them?

No.

I couldn't tell the difference.

I see. That bothers me.

So, you might be a shadow yourself.

Yes, but the same goes for you.

What are they? What are shadows?

Calm down, Mio.

It'll be okay.

Cameras can film them, so they are living things, not ghosts.

If they're alive, there must be a way to kill them, right?

That's true.

Shinpei, why don't we go to Hiruko now?

Mr. Karikiri should know well about the history of this island.

He might also know about shadows.

That's right, Mio and I were trying to visit Hiruko the first time too.

But it's too dangerous! We ran into it near the shrine.

Ah! Maybe tomorrow?

Tomorrow? It's the summer festival.

Ah… the summer festival.

I figured you forgot.

Tomorrow is the busiest day of the year for the shrine.

The priest won't have time for us.

Actually, the more people, the safer it should be.

The festival is a perfect time to visit Hiruko.

I'll come to Kofune at five tomorrow.

Let's decide on a secret code so that I can tell if you're a shadow.

Okay.

If I say "mountain," you say…

"River"?

Idiot. That's too obvious.

Well… how about "Tigris-Euphrates Rivers"?

Forget rivers for a moment, Shinpei.

"Mesopotamian civilization"?

Nice one, Mio!

"Mesopotamian civilization!"

Are these two serious?

Thanks Sou.

For trusting what I said.

We're buddies. You trusted me enough to tell me too.

Don't completely trust him yet.

Not until you find a way to tell shadows apart from people.

Why am I so negative?

Right.

By the way, there's something I want to check out.

I'll let you know if I find anything.

Jeez! We're getting soaked!

This wasn't in the forecast.

HITO SUMMER FESTIVAL JULY 24, 2018

Shinpei.

Yeah?

How long will you stay here?

Oh, well…

I wanted to leave shortly after the funeral, but now…

You should stay forever.

Forever?

Never mind. I didn't mean it.

I was just kidding. Give me your hand.

Here, take this.

Sis was wearing this necklace when she died.

She would've wanted you to have it.

Oh… thanks.

Her birthday.

INPUT PASSWORD

PASSWORD INCORRECT

Not that.

JULY 24

Mountain.

You have to say "Mesopotamian civilizaton," remember?

Ah. It's time already.

You're such a party-pooper. It's got to be the real you.

Shinpei! Put on some pants!

Sorry! Tokiko!

Please change quickly. We're all ready. Right, Mio?

D-Do I look okay?

I've never worn a yukata before.

You look…

You look great!

How is it? Tokiko dressed her.

It might help to tell us apart from the fakes.

Th-That's true.

How is it?

I haven't told Tokiko anything yet.

-It looks great. -Right. That's for the best.

By the way, what were you looking into yesterday?

Did you find anything?

Oh, that?

It was nothing important. Just forget about it.

Let's quit chatting and go. Ushio must be waiting.

Sis was really looking forward to this festival.

I'm sure she'll be there somehow.

Come on, let's go. For her soul.

Sou, didn't you want to become a doctor? You sound so unscientific.

HITO SHRINE

GYOKURINEN GREEN TEA ICE CREAM

Hey, Sou.

Yeah?

It's been two years since I left the island.

I thought I had matured a bit…

but I'm still totally helpless.

I wasn't with her when she really needed me.

I promised I would protect her.

You fool!

Ushio died, but not because of you!

Keep it together, Shinpei! Focus on protecting Mio now!

You're her brother!

I don't need you to tell me that!

If you aren't up for the job, leave Mio to me.

Sou, you still have feelings for Mio?

Do you have a problem with that?

What are you chatting about?

Ah, nothing.

We were debating whether we liked boobs or butts.

Hey!

-Ugh, that's creepy. -No!

Shinpei, your ice cream is melting.

I'm telling you, he's lying!

Actually, I am sort of curious.

What?

You were peeping on Mio when she was in the bath the other day, Shinpei.

What? What the hell!

-Wait! It's not what it sounds like. -Take this!

Shinpei, what do you really think about Mio?

Ah! What are you saying, Tokiko?

What I think of her?

Of course, I care about her.

We're family.

Family, huh?

Stop, Tokiko! Don't ask him weird things.

Shinpei, my old man just called.

After the fireworks and the Omiokuri…

Mr. Karikiri will be available.

Okay. So until then…

What's up, Shinpei?

Over there, I just saw…

Why don't we go into the grounds and see the fireworks from there?

Sorry. I'll catch up with you.

H-Hey! Shinpei!

Look after Mio!

Where is he going? Taking a dump?

Excuse me. Coming through. Sorry.

Ushio must be waiting.

Sis was really looking forward to this festival.

I'm sure she'll be there somehow.

Hey, Shinpei.

Find me.

Ushio.
