"I'm worried." "Hey, should I have him checked out?" "It's just some minor mouth sores." "It shouldn't be anything to worry about.." "I see." "Thank goodness." "But his kidney readings are rather high." "If nothing is done, there's a possibility of kidney failure..." "No, it'll be a certainty for a stray cat." "You can't keep him?" "No..." "So, what are you going to do?" "I have no choice but to keep him." "I thought you weren't going to keep any more cats." "I can't abandon him." "Well, there's no building manager here, so it seems unlikely that you'll get caught... I hope so..." "But I haven't said hello to my neighbor yet." "It worries me." "What?" "You haven't yet?" "My neighbor's never home, no matter when I go over there." "Hey, be quiet." "Please." "Shh." "Oh, you're hopeless." "You're hungry, aren't you?" "Hang on a second." "I'm so glad."

"Figures... lncoming Call" "Then, why don't you move?" "What?" "I mean, don't you think you have no choice but to move to a property that allows pets at this point?" "Yes, I'd like to eventually, but I just moved and financially, it's..." "But you know..." "Yes, sir?" "With this kind of work, it might be tough for you to save up." "I am very sorry."

"She works the night shift as a telephone receptionist for a mail order company." "She has no friends at work or in her personal life and she seems to be a very solitary person." "Just to make sure, I had people from the sushi and pizza places listen to her voice." "They all said that she sounds like the caller." "I tried calling her cell phone during the time when you receive those silent phone calls and it was always busy." "I think we can be pretty sure that she's the one who's harassing you." "I see."

"Recently, I have been the target of harassment at my place and when I had a private investigation agency look into it, I learned that you were the one behind it." "I have no intention of reporting this to the authorities, nor of making this matter public." "I also know that you hate cats." "And my plan is to eventually leave this place, taking my cat with me." "But I cannot do so immediately." "If you could at least give me half a year..." "Might I not ask you to quell your anger and wait for that long?" "I am well aware that this is a selfish request."

"It's absolutely unforgivable..." "Doing something like that... I feel the same way." "I made a request to Hell Girl... I told her that I wanted that woman banished to Hell." "Really..." "That woman totally deserves to get sent to Hell..." "Yeah, right?" "What?" "You must be exhausted from all the silent calls you received." "Die Amagi" "Weren't you scared when she banged on your wall?" "How did it feel to have your precious cat stolen from you?" "What are you people talking about?"
