"What kind of parent throws her daughter in a shed and doesn't do anything after she's gone for three days?" "! so you shut your smart mouth!" "You—" "You are Ms. Akemi Hinazuki?" "We're with the Ishikari Development Bureau's Child Consultation Center." "We've come to discuss your daughter Kayo with you." "You tricked me..." "Goddamn both of you! so we enlisted Ms. Fujinuma's cooperation." "Who ever said I wouldn't meet you?" "!" "Please forgive my presumptuousness." "Sorry I asked you to do this." "Mr. Yashiro. so I'm actually grateful that I could help." "They're the criminals for abducting my daughter!" "Call the cops!" "first we need to discuss your usual relationship with your child." "What are you talking about?" "!" "What about my relationship with Kayo?" "!" "needs to be taken into custody." "Into custody?" "!" "I'm her guardian!" "You revoked your guardianship by failing to look for your daughter when she went missing for three days!" "It's because of that brat over there!" "Why are you treating me like a criminal?" "!"

"You come with me!" "Akemi!" "Akemi..." "Mom?" "I'm sorry. but I've been worried about you and Kayo all this time." "I know very well how hard it is for a woman to raise a child on her own." "You must have been so lonely." "It must have been hard." "I should have helped you." "But I made you..." "DIVORCE REGISTRATION take all of it on by yourself." "Everyone..." "This is my fault." "Please don't think badly of Akemi." "Mom..." "Mom!" "Mom!" "I bet those tears were out of self-pity." "Kayo wasn't moved either." "She wouldn't look at her weeping mother." "don't worry about Kayo." "I'll take good care of her." "My child is the most precious thing I have in this world." "You must have thought the same way at some point." "Sensei." "Satoru." "Your heroic efforts just couldn't end in tragedy." "Kayo's going to be okay now." "but I wonder if he talked like that." "thank you." "Thank you for getting me out of here." "shall we go?" "by Kayo Hinazuki." "I want to go to a land that's far away." "I want to go to a faraway island." "I want to go to an island that has no people." "I want to go to an island that has no pain or sadness." "I want to cook with you." "Kayo" "and sleep when I want to sleep." "I feel a sense of relief." "far away." "I saved Kayo at last." "I fastened her life to the future." "Kayo will make her own mark." "I have faith that the future Kayo faces is a bright place." "Episode 9 Closure" "Satoru's been like this all day."

"Come here a minute." "STAFF ROOM" "About Kayo's mother..." "I don't think she'll be able to see Kayo for a number of years." "Kayo's going to begin a new life with her grandmother." "thank you." "no need to... not about that." "Your heroic efforts just couldn't end in tragedy"..." "That made me really happy." "it may have sounded a little vulgar Satoru." "What did you want?" "To see Kayo smile?" "too." "was Kayo in your house all that time?" "No." "We had a hideout." " A hideout?" " Yes." "We hid Kayo in the bus Izumi Elementary's hockey club used to use." "huh?"

"It's like with Kayo." "WONDER GUY!" "TV THEME SONG" "so it'll be hard to approach her." "but how can I start a conversation with her?" "She doesn't know anything about me." "This is a pretty high hurdle." "A way to become friends with someone you don't know?" "Let's be friends!" "Like that would— aren't you?" "Did she read my mind?" "!" "and now..." "Why would you think I..." "I just wanted to trick you into fessing up." "she is a girl... but she's always alone." "You can't be so pessimistic." "nothing gained."

"That only makes it heavier!" "It's heavy even if I don't say anything." "Sensei!" "Mom binged on groceries." "Don't say I binged!" "Sensei..." "Why aren't you married?" "That came out of nowhere." "Satoru..." "You need to have a partner to get married." "mutual timing... various things..." "Wait... so maybe I'm proceeding with excessive caution." "I'm sorry." "Don't worry about it." "It's not a bad question." "I was going to ask you something else." "How to approach a girl you don't know?" "but she doesn't know me." "Let's see... I'd start by getting her to relax her guard." "Relax her guard?" "charm her." "use it as a weapon. she lets her guard down." "Don't be so impressed." "so I just rely on logic." "Something's sticking out." "don't touch it!" "I-I'm sorr—" "It's..." "Satoru..." "You've seen it." "Candy?" "there's no sense in hiding it anymore!" "so you become equally guilty! candy has been my go-to substitute." "I can't relax without it." "H-He's weird..." "Thank you." "too." "Here." "I'm going to the center to do my homework." "Okay!" "Hiromi!" "I'll go with you!" "and now it's like you're Hiromi's guardian." "R-Really?"

"And if you look carefully..." "The shoes were wrapped in cloth?" "right?" "Maybe to keep from leaving shoe sole imprints." "The backpack is gone." "And the box with the briquette isn't here anymore either." "I think there are fewer boxes here overall." "And a lot of them are torn up." "Somebody must have made off with their contents only." "what are you trying to say? do you remember about the man who came here in the middle of the night?" "Yeah." "The guy who gave off a dangerous vibe based on the stuff he left here." "I think he's a killer who targets children." "Satoru?" "I don't know where you're getting this from... right?" "Satoru?" "I can't explain it right now. it made me think this was where a serial killer kept his murderous tools." "I know it all sounds insane." "But I believe it. but also to protect her from this killer." "do you mean to become a novelist or detective in the future?" "I don't think the issue is whether what you're saying is far-fetched or not." "It's whether I believe or not."

" See you!" "Bye!" "Later!" "I'm about 99% sure your hypothesis is nonsense." "But 1% of me says it's not totally impossible. it seems like I'm just wrapped up in a game of make-believe crimes." "I don't mind if it is make-believe. but I have a strong sense your thinking is going to lead to something." "Yeah." "You trusted me enough to tell me about it." "too." "I want to believe you for my own sake." "It's the flip side to someone saying "please believe me."" "Kenya." "Hiromi." "I could've saved her." "That's what I said when I was crying in front of Mom 18 years ago?" "I don't want to feel that way again." "I won't let anyone be alone!" "I can save them!" "Remember to get a parent's signature!"
