"Her mother just called and said she hasn't been home for 3 days." "She reported it to the police." "But they haven't found her yet." "I'll go to her house, then." "Okay." "It doesn't mean she's in serious trouble yet, so don't tell anyone." "This is my fault." "I wasn't there for her when she needed me." "But we don't know for sure what happened yet."

"I want to ask you something." "It's already been two weeks." "Mr. Yamagata, I heard you know a lot about such things." "Rumors are usually exaggerated." "I'm sorry." "My wife collapsed five years ago." "We went to many hospitals... but the cause was unknown." "Then a friend of mine from college introduced me... a psychic." "It may sound ridiculous, but..." "I was clutching at a straw." "I had no idea." "I used to teach folklore at a university." "Folklore?" "I'm not sure if this can help you, but..." "Have you ever heard of "spirited away?"" "Yes" "It was a common phenomenon in the past." "People said it was goblins' work." "Or the god of mountains'." "Where were they taken to?" "I don't know." "Some people came back after years passed, others didn't." "Does that happen even today?" "We just don't call it that way today." "Using dolls is called "representation. "" "Like the voodoo doll." "As for the water, probably it's derived from the belief... that water parts two worlds." "I guess the red thread... represents blood vessels." "I heard Ms. Uno had said she'd curse someone to death." "Perhaps this is a kind of necromancy." "But it can be interpreted in many ways." "Peter-Pan story is also "spirited away" from a different perspective." "The another world's not necessarily bad for the disappeared." "That's improper." "I'm sorry." "Mr. Yamagata."
