I had a strange dream. . .

. . .after I was put to sleep under general anaesthetic.

An unknown girl led me to a hill and. . .

. . . I was welcomed by my long gone mother. . .

. . .who only existed in the photo.

Mother.

This dream could be an omen of nightmares. . .

. . . I'm going to experience in my new school.

Another

Your last pneumothorax attack was about a year ago, right?

Well.

Your recovery is going well. Stay 10 days more for observation.

Okay.

Thank you.

Jeez! You just came here and you're hospitalized.

Poor you.

Any wards at basement?

Mortuary

6th of May

It is prohibited to enter the abandoned schoolhouse there.

Understand.

We have a new student today, this is Sakakibara-kun.

Please introduce yourself.

I'm Koichi Sakakibara. l'll be part of 3rd Year, 3rd Class from today onwards.

I am transferred here from Tokyo. . .

. . . because my father has to go to work in India for one year.

I'll be staying with my grandma during this period.

Actually my admission was in April but I was hospitalized. . .

Sakakibara-kun?

Well, thanks for the flowers from you guys.

Please take care of me.

That side is your seat, Sakakibara.

Alright.

Everyone please introduce yourself accordingly.

Please wipe the blackboard, Akazawa.

Here.

The duty roster is arranged according to the name order.

You're in second group, Sakakibara.

This week you should take care of hygiene in the classroom.

The seating plan is arranged like this too.

Hi, I'm Teshigawara Naoya.

Is the examination very hard in middle school at Tokyo?

I'm not sure, I came from a private middle school.

You must be very smart.

I'm just average.

So, smarty.

Do you believe in souls and spirits?

Also supernatural phenomena and Nostradamus such things?

I don't believe in these things.

About that girl who is sitting at the back seat. . .

That seat is empty.

We'll bring you visit around later.

Okay.

Am I the only one who can see it?

Or this is the continuation of my dream?

Aunt Reiko!

I'm home.

Time really flies. It's been 1 5 years since sister passed away.

Yes.

I never thought Sakakibara will become my student.

What?

I'm your homeroom teacher.

Do you like it or not?

I don't mind at all.

Alright.

Do you want me, the graduate to tell you. . .

. . .the four precautions of Yomiyama North Middle School?

Four precautions?

Various rumors of school often happen.

First precaution.

If you hear a crow at the rooftop,

you must take your left step first when you leave.

I heard of that too when I was young.

Second, 3rd Grade student cannot tumble at the ramp outside the back gate.

You as a teacher believe in that too, Reiko?

I'm giving you suggestion as a graduate, not a teacher.

Do you still want to hear the other two?

Time to eat!

Yes.

Tell me about it.

Third, you must obey the class rules.

And you must make a clear separation between school and home lives.

Yellow tail teriyaki.

It is bad for being opinionated too.

What?

Yes.

I don't like pumpkin.

Don't be picky.

Okay.

I tumbled at the ramp outside the back gate.

You'll be very bad luck.

Because of the second precaution?

Yes. 3rd Grade student cannot tumble at the ramp outside the back gate.

You already know it, right?

Is that girl from our class?

Look, she's at the rooftop.

Nobody's there.

Strange, she was there just now.

We met in the elevator at the hospital, right?

May I know your name, Misaki?

Mei.

How to write it?

M.e.i.

Mei.

Be careful. It may have begun.

Your checkup result has no problem.

When will you feel painful?

Let me think.

I'm not so sure.

Creepy.

What?

That librarian.

I heard he was Misaki's class teacher long time ago.

Who is Misaki?

Mochizuki.

What?

The bell is going to ring.

I forgot about something. Sorry, you guys go first.

What are you doing?

Recess time has ended.

I'm sorry.

We should have let you know earlier.

Don't ask any question. I hope you can just listen to me.

Twenty-six years ago today,

a student named Misaki had died.

Misaki?!

I heard that she got along very well with people.

It happened in year 1 972.

Her friends in 3rd Grade, 3rd Year of Yomiyama North Middle School. . .

. . .was very sad.

She couldn't accept her death.

she pretended that she was still alive.

Let's eat, Misaki.

I'll sit beside Misaki.

Let's eat, everyone.

So hungry.

I'll eat now.

Please take care of Misaki, everyone.

Okay.

It continued until they graduated.

Please help us to take a photo, Teacher.

Let's take photo.

Okay.

How about Misaki?

We're going to graduate, never mind her.

You're right. Let's take photo.

Alright, smile.

Ready, cheese.

Done.

Thank you, Teacher.

Give us the photo.

Okay.

That girl who called Misaki,

the incident twenty-six years ago still continues today.

Sakakibara!

Sakakibara!

Hey, Sakakibara!

Be careful.

Are you okay?

Sakakibara.

It may have begun.

I already cannot believe in what I've seen.

Mizuno-san.

You're sick again?

Yes.

Well, do you believe in spirits?

Why are you asking?

I'm just wondering.

Before my admission during April,

was there a girl passed away in this hospital?

Why do you want to know about this?

Perhaps it's just my illusion.

You like this too?

It's you.

Why are you here?

Your eyes. . .

Same as them.

What?

The eyes of a doll?

Who are you actually?

Are you from 3rd Grade?

Didn't I've told you, Sakakibara.

That seat is empty.

Stop talking to the non-existing person.

Otherwise, the consequences will be dreadful to contemplate.

The non-existing person?

You'll die if you keep talking to the non-existing person.

Die?

What has happened to the incident twenty-six years ago now?

What is going on?

What's wrong?

Aunt Reiko.

Sorry to disturb you.

Is there something bothering you?

I feel strange.

Strange?

Every one in the class are a little weird.

Even Teshigawara and Katsumi too.

I wish I am not in 3rd Grade.

That's it. You must single out school from home.

I know.

You feel this way maybe because you still haven't get used to it.

Anyway, the truth of all things will be revealed when the time has come.

What?

28th of May

Tanabe-san.

Please come over to take a look. The rain is leaking in here.

Okay.

Look, it's kind of dangerous.

I'll fix it right away.

Thank you.

Have you checked it?

Yes.

Sakakibara-kun.

I beg you to stop looking into the matter.

Someone might die because of you.

What's going on?

About that. . .

Misaki-san.

No, you'd better stop talking to me.

Why. . .Sakakibara-kun?

Sakuragi-san. . .

I've had enough!

Sakuragi-san. . .

Blame on. . .

You...

What?

What's that?

Sakuragi-san is dead.

Misaki-san.

Hurry!

Where's the ambulance, Horio-sensei?

It's coming!

Well, return to class, everyone.

Hurry! Go back to class now!

Go back to class now!

The first person.

What should I do? My parents and siblings will be in danger too.

Because you have violated the rule.

Yea. . . Because you have violated the rule.

Rule?

My brother told me about the incident.

Your brother?

There's a boy named Takeru Mizuno, right?

Mizuno?

Can you help me ask Mizuno-kun about the incident regarding Misaki Mei?

Misaki Mei?

Stop telling my sister strange things.

What?

Mizuno-kun, you mean. . .

Sakakibara.

Teshigawara.

What is the rule?

Is the related to Misaki?

I'll wait you at the pond.

What on earth is going on, Teshigawara?

Don't ask any question!

Please do like we said.

You mean to ignore Misaki?

Is this the rule?

Can you do it?

I can't do this!

Although I really would like to be friend

with you but I choose to obey the rule.

Third, you must obey the class rules.

Oh no, the elevator has broken down.

Hurry! Call the doctor!

Get out of the way!

Mizuno-san!

The doctor hasn't come yet?

Fast! Call the doctor!

8th of June.

Good morning.

Okay, this is it.

What has happened this morning, Yamada?

You can ask Misaki for more details.

How was it?

How does it feel being the non-existing person?

It doesn't feel good.

Non-existing person? What rule? What really is going on?

You must treat someone as he does not exist for one year.

Someone will die if you don't obey this rule.

Why will there be such a rule?

In order to stop paranormal phenomena which causes death.

Paranormal phenomena?

Sakuragi and Mizuno's sister,

both of them died in that phenomenon.

How come?

We only know such a phenomenon will occur.

Anyone knows the reason why?

Only the teacher who wanted to know will know.

Only the teacher who wanted to know?

Mei?

Sorry to disturb.

Kirika.

You seldom bring friends home.

It's okay. He is not afraid of my eyes.

But I know you very well, Mei.

You don't need a friend.

I understand. . .

I've told you many times, you shouldn't tell others about that incident.

They will misunderstand you.

Let's go out have a walk.

Is that your mother?

Even though I like the dolls Aunt Kirika made but I don't like her.

By the way, she's not my mother.

What?

Stop talking about me. Is there anything else you want to know?

Why didn't you reject to be the non-existing person?

27th of April.

Not long before you were transferred here,

our class drew lots to decide who was going to be the non-existing person.

No! I don't want to become the non-existing person.

I'll do it.

Teacher, this matter. . .

It is compulsory.

I don't mind.

We have a student called Sakakibara transferred here starting 6th of May.

Regarding the rule, we shall see what kind of person is he first.

I'm used to being alone so I accepted it.

Never thought we both would become the non-existing person.

Why am I being treated as the non-existing person as well?

Because you broke the rule by talking to me.

The rule will not be broken,

if you have become the non-existing person.

What the heck is this?

You still cannot accept it?

Anyway, I feel a great sense of relief now.

Now I know that you're real, Misaki-san.

Just call me Misaki. Nice to meet you, we're the same kind.

This is to transfer the perspectives.

Lingering the readers the author's feeling of farewell.

Like this, Mei and I have become the non-existing person.

What is your hobbies?

Painting I guess. But I prefer looking at it.

I like looking at paintings too.

I'll bring you to the art gallery if you come to Tokyo.

I'd like to but will that trouble you?

Nope.

Very delicious.

Really.

Why are you covering that eye, Misaki?

Jeez.

It looks beautiful.

Beautiful?

I don't think so.

Aunt Kirika made this for me.

Because it will see something not to be seen.

Why can't you just accept the fact you've become a non-existing person?

I wanted to know the truth.

It could be my innocence causing them died.

I got it.

This. . .

What is this?

Who are you?

You should ask first before entering.

Sorry.

It's fine with you.

No. He is the second non-existing person.

Second?

This has never happened before.

Twenty-six years ago,

a student called Yomiyama had passed away.

After that, the second year. . .

It began. . .

What's wrong?

Teacher!

This is bad!

Follow me!

Hurry!

During April of that year,

my student. . .

. . .died suddenly.

But that was just the beginning.

Many more died of. . .

. . .disease, accident, and disaster for the consecutive months.

All of them were the students of 3rd Grade.

And some were their relatives.

I could only explain this as accidental.

However,

I notice something abnormal. . .

. . .after the graduation.

Bu.

Yes.

Itou.

Kakinuki

Yes.

Hori.

Yes.

Watanabe.

Yes.

Who are you?

Yes.

The one who shouldn't exist was in the class.

Someone who was dead.

The dead one. . .

Was that Misaki?

I have no idea.

During the year when the dead one is here,

phenomena of serial murder case will occur.

Whoever passed away due to this kind of phenomenon. . .

. . .will then come to the class as the dead one. . .

. . .and initiate the incident.

If that's the case, why no one discovers it?

You saw it at least, Teacher.

It looks like human brain. . .

. . . is unable to firmly capture this phenomena.

Our memory was distorted,

although this is unbelievable.

Memory was distorted?

Yes.

After the incident occurred,

no one could remember who the dead one was.

All I can do is to make speculation. . .

. . . using the crimes evidence.

What have you. . .

. . .speculated, Teacher?

Nothing.

It's just that. . .

I think. . .

It's because of. . .

That's why this classroom is so close to death.

I must witness this. . .

. . . until the very end.

Let's go.

Wait.

The one that is alive must replace the dead one. . .

. . .and become the non-existing person,

in order to balance and bring the life and death back on track.

And you guys are the chosen ones.

If Chibiki-sensei is telling the truth,

the phenomena will not only causing death,

it will disrupt the life of those who are involved too.

Who were those that had passed away?

What can we do even if we know it?

Really nothing we can do about it?

It might be different,

if everyone in 3rd Grade, 3 Year. . .

. . .could accept the fact that their loved one had passed away.

Mother.

...

The one who was dead. . .

. . . has come to my class too?

Who's the dead one?

Who's the dead one?

Who's the dead one?

The dead one is me.

Occult Encyclopedia

What's wrong?

Misaki.

Have you ever think that the dead one could be you?

What?

The identity of the dead one is unknown.

That's why maybe I'm the dead one, am I?

You're not the dead one.

Why?

Because I can see the color of death.

Color of death?

After my left eyes became the doll's eye due to sickness during the age of four,

I began seeing things that shouldn't be seen.

At first, I saw unbelievable color. . .

. . .from the body of the deceased at my relatives' funeral.

My left eyes started to see colors which my right eyes cannot see.

I don't see color of death. . .

. . .from you.

Are you afraid of me?

Of course not.

It's okay. You can just tell the truth.

I'm used to it.

the one who is afraid should be you.

You didn't expect. . .

. . .you will have such power.

If I were you I will be very scared and feeling uneasy.

Sorry.

Have I just said something weird?

Yes. Something very weird.

Sorry.

It's okay.

6th Of July.

It's so hot.

Really.

Electricity breaks down.

Wait for me.

What is this?

Hey, I'm found my home teacher.

I'll stay home for the next three years.

Must find one.

It's better than we die.

Of course.

The incident becomes like this because. . .

Everybody is freaking out and not willing to do anything.

We'll be safe as long as we can escape.

What fool incident!

Yamada!

It's useless even if we follow the rule.

I hope the transferred student has never been here.

Don't mention about the non-existing person.

If you told the rule to that transferred student earlier,

such incident would not be happening.

Stop shirking responsibility.

You're always against the class rule.

You only think of saving yourself.

You're the one let Yamada. . .

What?

Are you blaming this on me?

I have a plan.

All this is caused my those who are living.

So we as the living ones should put an end to this.

What is your plan?

I'm going to Chibiki-sensei there.

This. . .

. . . is the year when we were born.

What's wrong?

Aunt Reiko?

Aunt Reiko.

Koichi-kun.

I heard about the phenomena from Chibiki-sensei.

Really. I'm sorry.

I was thinking of telling you myself.

Did my mother die because of the phenomena?

My mother returned to this town in order to give birth of me.

You were the student of 3rd Grade, 3rd year during that time correct, Reiko?

I don't know why too.

I'm not accusing you.

It's just that if you were not the student of 3rd Grade,

and I didn't born that year,

perhaps mother she wouldn't die.

Stop it.

You shouldn't think like that.

I just don't want to sit and die.

There's must be a way out.

Somehow,

it feels like mother is calling after me.

It is not occasional that father went working abroad.

This must be the arrangement mother made.

8.8.1 983 Training Camp 3rd Grade 3rd Year

Training?

Seems like it was decided suddenly.

What training was it?

What actually has happened?

Misaki.

What?

Someone in the abandoned schoolhouse.

Let's go and take a look.

Where is it?

It really hasn't ended yet.

I'm very scared, Kubodera-sensei.

That's why I didn't tell so.

What was he searching for?

No idea.

There's nothing here.

What is this?

What is this. . .?

3rd Grade 3rd Year, 1 983

I'm Matsunaga.

I've murdered someone in that summer when I was 1 3.

We had a fight during that training camp. . .

. . .when left the two of us only.

I didn't want to kill him.

But I strangled him to death in my rage.

He was dead. . .

. . . but his body went missing suddenly.

The incident has stopped later on.

Nobody remembers what had happened.

What's the matter?

The dead one has come.

We are the students of 3rd Grade, 3rd Year.

Put the dead one back to death, the sequence will return to normal again.

Just like what I did,

let the dead one who came into class. . .

. . . return to the place where he should be at and kill him.

This way the occurrence will stopped.

What is this?

A message for juniors like us, I guess.

You wish somebody can find it, didn't you?

I don't remember anymore.

No, I still have a little impression actually.

I am very scared.

Until I don't want to remember it.

But I remember clearly. . .

I've used both of these hands of mine. . .

. . . murdered someone and the feeling has never faded away.

I did this on my own!

I wanted to forget about it,

but I can't!

This feeling lingers. . .

No matter how I just cannot forget it!

Let the dead one go back to death. . .

Kill the dead one once again. . .

I don't want anyone to die anymore but. . .

Matsunaga-senpai is still suffering.

I don't know whether should I find out the dead one or not.

Misaki-san. Sakakibara-kun.

Both of you come in.

The incident will still happen even if both

of them are treated as the non-existing person.

We'll take another measurement.

We'll have a 3 days 2 nights classroom training. . .

. . .from date 8 till 1 0 next month.

Everyone of you must attend this training.

I don't want to go!

What kind of idea is this?

What are you trying to do?

Listen to me.

The problem won't be solved. . .

. . . if you keep thinking about the incident.

What are you talking about, Teacher?

Yea.

It's too late.

There is exceptional year.

Five 3rd Grade students were dead. . .

. . .as up to July, 1 983.

However, nobody dies. . .

. . .during August. . .

. . .after a training was held at the Sakitani memorial hall.

We should try instead of sitting around like this.

Mikami-sensei resembles you.

As in. . .

. . . positive and optimistic aspects.

Actually Mikami-sensei is my aunt.

She doesn't want me to tell anyone in school.

She is the sister of my long gone mother.

I see.

The way you look at Mikami-sensei is very special.

Really? I didn't notice it.

I can see it.

8th of August.

Hello.

Hello.

Sorry to trouble you.

I'm hungry, sorry.

Don't sit here.

Sit over there.

Okay.

Feeling so bad luck.

Can I sit here?

Yes.

No more pepper powder.

Here.

Thanks.

What's wrong?

Nothing. You're no longer the non-existing person in class.

I feel kind of surprised.

Yea, it's been a while I didn't talk to Misaki.

Yea. I can't believe you volunteered to be the non-existing person.

You're so brave.

I don't mind so I accepted it.

I wouldn't do so if it was me.

I didn't know what I will do if I drew it.

Seems like you get along well so fast.

We're just chit-chatting.

I'm not talking to you.

It's all because of you interacting with Sakakibara,

Sakuragi, Yamada, Mizuno's sister. . .

. . .and Kubodera-sensei were dead.

You should apologize to everyone.

Is this Misaki's fault?

Yes.

You're at fault too of transferring here during this period.

You're right. Many people around him had died. . .

. . .ever since he came.

Enough!

Sorry.

Bend your head down.

Misaki!

Are you alright?

I'll be fine.

Here.

Thanks.

Thank you for siding me just now.

Don't mention it.

You have a cell phone.

I'm forced to bring it with. I don't like this kind of device actually.

But sometimes I feel safe with this cell phone along.

Really?

May I have your no.?

Sure.

I don't really know how to use it.

Sakakibara must be hiding something from us. It's strange he covers for Misaki.

3rd Grade, 3rd Year 1 983. I am Matsunaga.

Hey, Mizuno.

You have heard it, right?

So, we just need to kill the dead one to stop the incident.

The reason we come here is to kill someone huh?

We're done if we got it wrong.

My sister was killed, I want to. . .

Is there something important?

Why did it fall off when Mochizuki comes?

What do you mean?

I could have been killed just now!

Which means. . . The moment when Yamada. . .

Someone in between who is hiding this cassette. . .

. . . is the dead one.

I'll tell this to everyone!

We just need to kill the dead one to stop the incident.

No! I'm not going to kill anyone!

I'm not doing this!

Just stay in the house.

Do not go out before the morning comes.

And do not let anyone else in.

Come, Teshigawara.

Okay.

Hey, could it be you, Wakui?

How could you say that!

Stop it!

Who are you siding, Teshigawara?

I . . . Well. . .

You'd better make it clear.

This is not the time to talk about this.

What? You always pretended like a good girl. . .

I am not!

I said stop it!

Hey.

Mei? I'm a bit worried so I called you.

I'm fine.

I see. Is that boy with you too?

I am the only one who can protect you.

Listen, you just need to see the good things.

You see, Aunt Kirika.

I'm fine even if I see bad things.

What?

Because you're not the only one who are worried about me because of fear.

Mei.

I'll be fine, Kirika-san.

Mei.

We're going to switch off the lights, Misako.

You should go back to your room now.

I think it's better to tell them about the cassette.

Is that so? But I don't think they will believe it.

Well, let's find the teacher to decide for us then.

What? It's not here.

This is not good!

What happened?

After listening to your cassette,

I thought the dead one is Mochizuki and I killed her!

But the incident didn't stop.

Where is Mochizuki?

Sakakibara!

Who's that?

Who?!

Akazawa.

So it's you, correct?

Stop it!

You have killed Mochizuki, didn't you?

I saw it from the window.

Wait!

Put down the knife, Mizuno.

Mizuno.

Say! You're the dead one, aren't you?!

You okay?

Let's find everyone.

Damn!

Run!

Fire!

Run, everybody!

Hurry! Just put this down!

Run!

Hurry! Run!

Go to the parking lot!

Go out now! Yonemura-kun!

Hurry go out now!

Fast! Run! Everyone!

You can do it!

Chibiki-sensei!

I told everyone I've found the dead one.

We just need to kill him and we'll be safe.

Sakakibara is the one who found it. . .

Hey, calm down a bit!

The dead one. . . He. . .

What is happening?

Teacher, the dead one is. . .

Hurry! Go now!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

Help!

Help!

Sakakibara said. . .

. . .we just need to bring the dead one back to death.

Where is Misaki?

I don't know.

Did you see Misaki?

Where is Misaki?

I don't know.

Misaki!

Misaki!

I'm okay. It's better you don't come here, Sakakibara.

Sakakibara, over these twenty-five years I . . .

Where are you, Misaki?

Sakakibara!

Misaki!

Where is Misaki?

There's no one inside anymore!

Run!

I can't move. . . Help!

Wait!

Misaki!

Mei!

Misaki!

Misaki!

What are you doing?

Don't stop me!

This person is the dead one!

That's not real! You're lying!

Koichi-kun. . .

Mikami-sensei is the dead one. I can see the color of death.

Aunt Reiko.

Trust me.

I . . .don't want more people dying anymore.

But. . .

No!

Let go!

Hang on here, Mei!

Do you know why the gate of death is opened?

Because I want to die!

Mei!

Let's run!

No! We must stop it!

Tell me. . .

What's is going on?

He is dying.

Chibiki-sensei!

What is this. . .?

Reiko-san!

I'm begging you, Sakakibara!

You go.

Why?

Although this is unbelievable,

but our memory was distorted.

Memory was distorted?

I don't like pumpkin.

it feels like mother is calling after me.

It is not occasional that father went working abroad.

This must be the arrangement mother made.

Aunt Reiko!

Run! Hurry!

Sakakibara!

Sakakibara!

It was 1 5th of August the day I awoke.

Mei.

Seeing her cold expression I somehow feel at ease.

Sakitani Memorial Hall destroyed by fire One male teacher

was killed and four middle school students went missing.

There's no write-up about Aunt Reiko.

It seems like nobody remembers her existence.

Really?

I'm Chibiki Tatsuji, regarding the incident. . .

Next morning,

almost all of the students have forgotten about Reiko Mikami.

Only one thing can prove her existence,

which is she had saved Mei and I at the last minute.

Perhaps there is such a rule,

where we don't have to sacrifice anyone

but can coexist with the dead one as well.

The ray of death is shimmering. . .

Why did the dead one want to come to 3rd Grade?

We still cannot understand until now.

Was it because of meeting someone?

Or in order to send some kind of message?

I make this record for the sake of my juniors.

If it is possible,

I hope they'll find a way to seal up this phenomena.

Both kids died before me. . .

. . . I still cannot believe it until now.

Every thing is still in it's original state.

Let's pack this up.

Reiko-san is dead.

I'll help.

1 8th of October.

Will you feel lonely?

Yes.

Let's go.

Mei.

Can I call you once in a while?

Yes you can.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I'm glad we're in the same class.

Yes, I'm so happy.

Anyway, this year is 3rd year.

We can't play anymore.

I heard Wakayabashi is going for West middle school.

Really? That's our Wakabayashi.

What is this?

I don't know. A stranger gave me downstairs just now.

Let's go!

Morning.

Everyone please return to your seat.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I am Chibiki, the class teacher of 3rd Grade, 3rd Year.

Okay, I'll be taking the attendance.

Akino Hiroto.

Yes.

Andou Yuka.

Yes.

Enomoto Kaito.

Odagawa Nana.

Be careful.
