"I filled up an empty large fruit wine bottle and drowned all of the hamsters in it. where I was captivated by what I saw." "lifeless hamsters." "it excited me." "I named the survivor Spice and decided to raise it. "The Spider's Thread." "Do you know it? lowers a spider's thread down from Heaven to him. kicking down at his fellow sinners when they try to climb up after him." "and Kandata falls back down to Hell." "but I'll tell you anyway." "Or maybe you will understand. it's as if I could see the spider's thread." "I've murdered the people who I could see were connected to it." "a boy disrupted my plans." "And then I saw a spider's thread too." "Yashiro!" "I know your future!" "But he didn't die." "I named him Spice and began observing him." "Satoru." "ERASED" "That'll be 987 yen." "Thank you."

"FUNABASHI GENERAL HOSPITAL" "Yes." "I'm surprised." "It's hard to believe you were asleep for 15 years." "Fif... teen... years..." "Oh!" "You can speak." "I don't think you'll have to wait long before starting rehab." "Mom has spent four hours of every day for the last 15 years caring for my body." "she's been using an EMS device to prepare for the day when I woke up." "She took care of my joints and my muscles." "and now I'm 169 cm tall." ""This is all because of your mother"" "and "It's remarkable."" "I think this is a good time for it." "Answer my next question." "What's the last thing you remember before falling asleep?" "The last thing I remember..." "Huh?" "Huh?" "What was it again?" "locked up tight behind a door." "Do you want to see yourself?" "Don't be shocked." "What?"

"Good morning." "you've got visitors." "Satoru." "Satoru." "Kenya Kobayashi and Hiromi Sugita were especially good friends of mine." "and Hiromi's a doctor." "I talked with them about trivial things." "but I think Mom had given him strict instructions." "So we just chatted that day." "See you!" "See you!" "but it seems Mom was trying to avoid the topic of my past." "having faith that I would awaken one day." "I guess I don't have to remember." "Are you okay?" "Why don't we call it a day?" "Satoru!" "Kayo." "Episode 11 Future" "I got married." "My name is Kayo Sugita now." "Your baby's father is Hiromi then?" "Yeah." "It seemed like Hiromi wanted to tell me something." "Maybe it was about your child." "Could've been." "the baby has Hiromi's long eyelashes." "even though he's a boy." "His name is Mirai." "Mirai..." "The "future"..." "That's a good name." "Satoru... we felt kind of uncomfortable." "Thinking "Is it all right for just us to become happy?" "Even though we may have been the cause of you being in a coma..." "It kind of felt... like we were leaving you behind." "my fate is my own." "There's no need for you to feel responsible." "I'm sure that what's become of me was a result of something I wanted." "You were asleep for 15 years but still have a silver tongue." "Satoru... and it was all made possible because of you." "Thank you." "What did I do?" "okay." "Are you hungry?" "okay." "Satoru?" "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry to spring all of this on you." "I've tired you out." "I'll visit again." "Yeah." "See you later." "Satoru." "You're back?" "Yeah." "Hinazuki was here a little while ago." "Yeah." "I saw her too." "isn't he?" "Listen..." "Mom..." "Yes?" "They're here again." "What is it?" "Photographers for gossip rags." "They want to write articles about you being in a coma for 15 years." "Satoru..." "You were going to tell me something?" "it was nothing." "Come in." "Hello." "Thank you for everything." "when will I be able to walk again?" "I don't know." "That could depend on you." "please let me do twice as much rehab." "I'm anxious to walk outside." "I'll think about it." "Excuse me a minute." "Director." "He's making a smooth recovery." "He could regain his memories at any time." "No." "I have to refuse that." "My patient isn't a mouse—" "SATORU FUJINUMA" "Excuse me." "Satoru!" "Your arms and legs have gotten a lot stronger." "Satoru!" "Mr. Fujinuma!" "You really walked all that way!" "It was an awesome effort!" "Kenya is here to see you." "Kenya." "Sorry to bother you now." "thank you for coming." "Satoru." "Nice to meet you." "I used to work with your mother." "We met several times before you started elementary school." "That was over 20 years ago." "He could never remember that." "I'll visit again." "Take care." "We've waited 15 years for this." "There's no need to be impatient now." "Let's take it slowly." "Agreed." "Hello." "I see." "Kumi." "My sister is going to give me her bone marrow." "They say that's what's going to cure me." "But..." "I'm scared." "Is it true you were asleep for 15 years?" "Kumi?" "Yeah." "I've been trying all this time to look good in front of you." "I'll be really disappointed once you're out of here." "Courage." "Want me to tell you how to muster up courage?" "You picture the smiling face of someone who's dear to you." "you have to smile too." "Time's drifter... and he may be released soon." "How do you like that angle?" "Nice." "Secretly taking photos of a civilian in the hospital... trespassing..." "Plenty to warrant punishment by law." "Get your asses out of here." "The flowers were beautiful." "Mr. Nishizono!" "Hello!" "Kumi." "Satoru Fujinuma..." "Yes..." "It's me." "Have you forgotten?" "I've changed a lot." "I was your homeroom teacher in fifth grade." "Gaku Yashiro." "I go by "Nishizono" now." "I changed my given name to "Manabu." "Why did you change your name?" "I got married five years ago and was adopted into her family as a son-in-law. but he passed away three years ago." "I inherited his constituency and joined the council myself. keeping the kanji but going with the more common reading." "So you're a politician now?" "Still a freshman council member though." "Mr. Yashiro." "I met Kumi at a charity event for leukemia." "and he introduced us." "really?" "I found out you'd regained consciousness some time before that." "It took me long enough to pay you a visit." "You went out of your way to visit me?" "I'd been anticipating your awakening for 15 years." "Thank you." "You must've been through a lot." "I'm sorry." "I..." "I've heard." "right?" "Remembering them gradually is best." "Hi." "Mr. Yashiro..." "Are you also going to see Kumi? and this is the last day she can have visitors." "Yes." "I just saw her now." "so I couldn't talk to her." "really?" "Then maybe I'll try again later." "do you have time to chat? so why don't we go somewhere else?" "I found the perfect place." "DELIVERIES did you?" "isn't it?" "Would you push the roof button?" "Too bad... the sunset would've been beautiful." "But there won't be any weird photographers up here." "so don't tell anyone. right?" "Yashiro..." "I have... my memories back!"
