Kuriaki Magi : Something must be up for him to suddenly ask such an odd question. |
(0:01:40.66) |
Momoyuki Mogura : What's your brother like? |
(0:01:44.98) |
Kuriaki Magi : I wonder if I have a picture. |
(0:01:47.01) |
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, my mom sent me this one over New Year's. |
(0:01:49.44) |
Momoyuki Mogura : How you use the ingredients makes all the difference! |
(0:01:57.70) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Here are today's recipes! |
(0:01:59.80) |
Kuriaki Magi : I asked my brother what happened, and... |
(0:02:02.51) |
Kuriaki Magi : When he went to hang out at a female friend's house... |
(0:02:10.44) |
Momoyuki Mogura : A female friend? Not his girlfriend? |
(0:02:13.09) |
Kuriaki Magi : My brother's love life is pretty messy. |
(0:02:15.54) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I see. So you're nothing alike. |
(0:02:19.07) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Well, cheer up. |
(0:02:21.99) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm on your side, okay? |
(0:02:23.31) |
Kuriaki Magi : Shut up. |
(0:02:25.97) |
Kuriaki Magi : In any case, their family seemed cheerful and friendly. |
(0:02:38.98) |
Kuriaki Magi : Apparently that's what happened. |
(0:03:47.95) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You sure he's okay? |
(0:03:49.94) |
Momoyuki Mogura : They're not gonna sacrifice your brother to something, are they? |
(0:03:51.51) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If that family invites him to a festival that takes place every 90 years, |
(0:03:55.20) |
Momoyuki Mogura : tell him to turn them down. |
(0:03:58.97) |
Kuriaki Magi : I thought it was scary when I heard about it, too. |
(0:03:59.97) |
Kuriaki Magi : But there's actually more to this story. |
(0:04:02.74) |
Kuriaki Magi : When I was little, |
(0:04:41.10) |
Kuriaki Magi : I hit my head on a dresser and hurt myself. |
(0:04:43.07) |
Kuriaki Magi : Since I hit my forehead, I bled more than expected. |
(0:04:47.89) |
Kuriaki Magi : It was the first time my parents paid attention to me since my brother was born, |
(0:04:51.17) |
Kuriaki Magi : so I felt both happy and incredibly guilty about it. |
(0:04:55.62) |
Kuriaki Magi : I thought they wouldn't accept me unless I said that. |
(0:05:06.11) |
Momoyuki Mogura : When was the last time you visited your parents? |
(0:05:15.07) |
Kuriaki Magi : New Year's. |
(0:05:18.29) |
Momoyuki Mogura : People who live alone despite attending a university in their parents' city |
(0:05:19.73) |
Momoyuki Mogura : are generally independent, want a convenient commute, |
(0:05:23.52) |
Momoyuki Mogura : or have an awkward relationship with their family. |
(0:05:26.13) |
Kuriaki Magi : Your analysis can be annoying sometimes. |
(0:05:28.75) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Tell him I'm an alumnus who can supposedly see spirits. |
(0:05:31.31) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's better than making up an elaborate story. |
(0:05:36.28) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And tell him Yae-chan introduced me to you. |
(0:05:39.03) |
Momoyuki Mogura : In my experience, involving a girl makes people lower their guard. |
(0:05:41.54) |
Kuriaki Magi : This is the one thing you're good at. |
(0:05:45.66) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Plus, you're calmer when Yae-chan's present. |
(0:05:48.31) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's surprisingly important to do things with others. |
(0:05:52.20) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It makes us feel safer and stronger. |
(0:05:55.09) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Having Yae-chan with you must've played a big role when you tried to help me. |
(0:05:58.71) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You wanted to impress her, right? |
(0:06:04.75) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If you'd been alone, you would've panicked and lost track of me. |
(0:06:08.83) |
Kuriaki Magi : She's not my girlfriend! |
(0:06:23.07) |
Kuriaki Magi : What was that pause just now? |
(0:06:33.05) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Say it. |
(0:06:35.91) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Depending on your answer, I might stab you. |
(0:06:37.54) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Small? What's small? |
(0:06:42.69) |
Yaeko Kirihara : In four words or less. |
(0:06:44.89) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, could you tell me what happened? |
(0:06:48.99) |
Momoyuki Mogura : First, what's this Miya-chan girl like? |
(0:06:55.65) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Big brother red panda, little brother red panda. |
(0:07:00.90) |
Kuriaki Magi : Why'd you take this picture? |
(0:07:12.79) |
Kuriaki Magi : It looks like VHS-era adult video packaging or a centerfold model... |
(0:07:15.21) |
Kuriaki Magi : Also, are big breasts the only thing you care about? |
(0:07:24.41) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Sorry, Magi-kun. Your brother sucks. |
(0:07:47.94) |
Kuriaki Magi : I know. |
(0:07:50.62) |
Kuriaki Magi : You're classmates with Kyoshiro, huh? |
(0:07:51.61) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Small world. |
(0:07:54.49) |
Kuriaki Magi : Do you see Miya-chan as a whole person? |
(0:07:56.62) |
Kuriaki Magi : Don't you think you shouldn't be showing us that picture? |
(0:08:02.46) |
Kuriaki Magi : What?! Then you're perfect for each other! |
(0:08:13.14) |
Kuriaki Magi : That's actually kind of scary. |
(0:08:21.41) |
Kuriaki Magi : Don't ask me. |
(0:08:24.85) |
Kuriaki Magi : Even if she stabs you, it'll be your own fault. |
(0:08:26.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Are you two done joking around? |
(0:08:36.29) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Come to think of it, what's your given name? |
(0:08:45.58) |
Kuriaki Magi : Kuriaki. |
(0:08:48.25) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Wasn't expecting that. |
(0:08:49.60) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Magi Kuriaki, older brother. |
(0:08:51.71) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Magi Umeharu, younger brother. |
(0:08:53.47) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Fall is chestnut season, and spring is plum season. |
(0:08:55.85) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Were you born in the fall and spring? |
(0:08:58.43) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Wait, you said you're 21, right? |
(0:09:02.06) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If you're a third-year who hasn't turned 22 yet, did you fail to get into college once? |
(0:09:05.42) |
Kuriaki Magi : So what if I did? |
(0:09:09.97) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I wouldn't say that. |
(0:09:13.34) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Kuriaki-kun told me some of what happened, but let me ask you a few questions. |
(0:09:21.75) |
Kuriaki Magi : Don't call me that. |
(0:09:25.93) |
Momoyuki Mogura : First, tell me about the doll. |
(0:09:31.74) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Was it an expensive-looking one for decoration, or one for kids? |
(0:09:33.76) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Was it new? |
(0:09:43.06) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Next question. |
(0:09:49.50) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Did the home have an altar? |
(0:09:50.51) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Were there any photos of a girl besides Miya-chan on the altar or anywhere else? |
(0:09:56.36) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Then most likely the spirit is that girl in the photo, and that doll was hers. |
(0:10:20.65) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Possibly Miya-chan's older or younger sister. |
(0:10:26.33) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I thought it might be a cursed doll, but in this case, |
(0:10:29.72) |
Momoyuki Mogura : it's probably just what's keeping the family mentally stable. |
(0:10:33.14) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The spirit's inhabiting that doll they treasure and living with the family. |
(0:10:37.24) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That part's not too scary. |
(0:10:43.12) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Why do we find dolls scary, anyway? |
(0:10:47.25) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Most people find human dolls scarier than stuffed animals. |
(0:10:50.53) |
Momoyuki Mogura : There's something about them we find fascinating. |
(0:10:55.42) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Originally, dolls were representations of something else. |
(0:10:59.40) |
Momoyuki Mogura : We transferred our own misfortune onto them, letting them take our place. |
(0:11:01.49) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's the origin of Hina dolls. |
(0:11:04.03) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Cursed straw dolls take the place of the victim. |
(0:11:06.03) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Humans recognize dolls as substitutes for human beings, |
(0:11:09.21) |
Momoyuki Mogura : so we think they have a will of their own. |
(0:11:14.07) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's why they're scary. |
(0:11:15.79) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Of course, some of 'em have scary faces that make you wonder why they were made that way. |
(0:11:17.31) |
Kuriaki Magi : But why did my brother suddenly start seeing spirits? |
(0:11:21.24) |
Momoyuki Mogura : He's your brother. |
(0:11:25.06) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You probably always had the potential for it. |
(0:11:26.58) |
Momoyuki Mogura : But seeing is noticing. |
(0:11:28.75) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Even if there were a spirit visible in Shibuya, |
(0:11:31.31) |
Momoyuki Mogura : most people wouldn't realize it was a spirit. |
(0:11:33.88) |
Momoyuki Mogura : But if one showed at a known haunted spot, most people would claim they saw a spirit. |
(0:11:38.13) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Sometimes people notice because they're in a situation or state of mind |
(0:11:42.51) |
Momoyuki Mogura : that makes them look for something that feels off. |
(0:11:46.14) |
Momoyuki Mogura : She could be synced up with Miya-chan because of a strong attachment. |
(0:11:57.29) |
Momoyuki Mogura : She considers herself equal. |
(0:12:01.51) |
Momoyuki Mogura : From what I can tell, the family's odd closeness is evidence of that. |
(0:12:03.29) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Turn it on its head, and something will break. |
(0:12:08.18) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It seems to me like they're afraid of change. |
(0:12:10.92) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And... sorry, but I have to say it. |
(0:12:16.62) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Based on what I've heard, there's a clear difference between the sisters. |
(0:12:19.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm more interested in everything besides the doll. |
(0:12:23.68) |
Momoyuki Mogura : While she's a good girl with her parents, |
(0:12:27.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Miya-chan is desperate for approval and has a highly dependent personality. |
(0:12:30.80) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Then there's the spirit stuck so firmly to Miya-chan that it's synced with her. |
(0:12:33.84) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The unnaturally smiley and close family. |
(0:12:37.44) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The cracks are already starting to show on the surface. |
(0:12:42.19) |
Momoyuki Mogura : So if we look deep down inside, especially inside Miya-chan... |
(0:12:47.74) |
Momoyuki Mogura : What will we find down there? |
(0:12:52.25) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If you want confirmation, |
(0:12:55.75) |
Momoyuki Mogura : ask Miya-chan for the truth, but be prepared for it to hurt her. |
(0:12:58.54) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If you don't want to get involved, then don't ask. |
(0:13:02.19) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Especially if a spirit is involved. |
(0:13:05.01) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You can probably just ask her about the doll. |
(0:13:08.53) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Despite everything I said, 99 out of 100 times, the doll would be a trauma thing. |
(0:13:12.31) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Asking her about it won't make her think you're crazy. |
(0:13:18.90) |
Kuriaki Magi : You're right. |
(0:13:23.83) |
Kuriaki Magi : Every year, my old room turns into a storage room more and more. |
(0:13:43.89) |
Momoyuki Mogura : All right! Let's raid the place! |
(0:13:48.10) |
Momoyuki Mogura : What will we find down there? |
(0:16:04.89) |
Kuriaki Magi : Mogura, stop eavesdropping! |
(0:17:03.82) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's missing? |
(0:17:27.18) |
Momoyuki Mogura : New Yatsume Hospital... |
(0:17:34.10) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's west of here. |
(0:17:35.91) |
Kuriaki Magi : Mogura? |
(0:17:38.25) |
Kuriaki Magi : Let's go, too. |
(0:17:45.45) |
Kuriaki Magi : Does he know how to get there without a map? |
(0:17:46.80) |
Yaeko Kirihara : He's lived without a cell phone until now, so he might have an internal map of the city. |
(0:17:49.63) |
Kuriaki Magi : That must be it. |
(0:17:54.79) |
Kuriaki Magi : Come to think of it, he bragged about knowing most of the phone numbers of the nearby shops. |
(0:17:55.96) |
Yaeko Kirihara : That's amazing! That's an ancient power! |
(0:18:01.06) |
Yaeko Kirihara : But it's also an annoying "back in my day" brag! |
(0:18:03.49) |
Kuriaki Magi : He's fast, so we'd better hurry. |
(0:18:06.52) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Uh, yeah. Pretty clearly. Sorry. |
(0:18:14.27) |
Kuriaki Magi : Mogura was actively trying to listen in. |
(0:18:16.90) |
Kuriaki Magi : I'd be worried too if my sister turned out like that. |
(0:18:25.16) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Relatives can be shockingly insensitive about the things they say, but... |
(0:18:28.39) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I'm not sure, but my gut tells me... |
(0:18:37.61) |
Yaeko Kirihara : It's hard to put in words, but this is a deep-seated problem. |
(0:18:42.81) |
Yaeko Kirihara : If I were Miya-chan's sister, and something were keeping me in this world, |
(0:18:46.85) |
Yaeko Kirihara : would it really be as simple as a desire to watch over her? |
(0:18:52.36) |
Kuriaki Magi : Mogura! |
(0:19:43.75) |
Kuriaki Magi : We finally caught you. |
(0:19:45.07) |
Kuriaki Magi : What's going on? |
(0:19:47.32) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm worried about the uncle, |
(0:19:49.14) |
Momoyuki Mogura : but I'm worried about her older sister, too. |
(0:19:51.70) |
