"I'm boy A's younger sister." "I'm Misaki Fumiya's younger sister, Futaba." "I don't... really get what you're saying." "Fukami-san, you used to go to my house a lot of times right?" "You also used to eat dinner with me." "Once you even splattered the T-shirt I sent out with meat sauce." "I cried a lot at that time." "Well, the T-shirt doesn't matter though." " Do you know where Fumiya is now?" " No." "My family doesn't..." "It's the truth." "Just now, I happened to mumble just now, but I really don't know." "None of my family members know where Onii-chan..." "We don't know anything about my brother." "After he was arrested, he didn't meet anyone of us." "That's why until this day, I really don't know where he is." "That's why... that's why, just now it's 15 years since I last saw him." "Why haven't you searched for him all this time?" "That murderer." "Leaving him alone is just irresponsible." "He might go kill someone else again!" "If you leaving him alone, there may be more victims." " Maybe it's too late already." " That is..." " For the last 8 years, maybe 2 or 3 people..." " You're overthinking it." "There are scores of children who go missing right?" " That means..." " There's no way it can be true!" "Well, I'm sorry." "But it's just..." "Were you serious about killing my brother?" "I was." "If it hadn't been for you who tried to protect him." " I wasn't trying to..." " Enough already." "You're my enemy anyway." "Ah!" "Please move aside." "I'm gonna drive." "It's dangerous." " I'm gonna run you over." " Sorry." "Please hold on." " I'm really gonna run you over." " Please wait a minute." "This is my cell phone number." "I wonder if there's any video rental store near to Uncle's house." "There is." "It's not a chain store though." "I bet they don't have Season 4." "I'll go look for it during my delivery." "I don't want to be bullied, or have my job offer canceled." "Nor do I want to be dumped by my boyfriend." "Akari." "It's been a long time since we last passed this road." "My grandmother brought me a yukata." "It's light pink and has hydrangea patterns." "But my mom said that the summer festival might get canceled." "If the festival gets canceled, the criminal deserves death penalty." "Ah, wait." "Stop, stop!" "We have secured the suspect and will be taking him to the police now." "Onii-chan." "Have you noticed anything abnormal about your son recently?" " I'm home." "Just tell us even the most trivial thing." "Where did Onii-chan go?" "Do you know what your son did on the day of August 8?" "Hey, will Onii-chan be coming back?" " We found it!" " We've found the weapon!" "Futaba!" " Someone, get a plastic bag." " Yes!" " Here." " Where do I put this?" "Ah, just put it there." "At the entrance." "The festival is coming soon." "Is everything alright?" "Ah, thank you." "Thanks for helping us out with everything." "We have cleaned it up for the time being." "Though it's a job, but it's just a cleaning delivery service." "Having someone like you who was a manufacturer work at that job is such a pity." " Not at all." " Thank you, Nii-san." " Yeah." " Toyama-san." " They just moved house?" " Oh, Policeman-san." "Please stick this on your door." ""We are looking for this child"" "This appeared on the newspaper the other day..." "She lives nearby here?" "Yes." "The security camera recorded a boy who's covered his face with a hat and took her with him." " Well, I ask for your favor." " Good work." ""Even so, we will be living on"" "Episode 2:" "Suppressed emotions" "Translation and fine-timing by yuizaki_libra@livejournal" "They said only 30 minutes left." "This is from my side." "Looks delicious." "You know my dad..." "I mean my dad-in-law, he asked if you would want to drop by on your way home." "You will come right?" "We'll preparing dinner for you." "Why?" "It can't be helped that Kaa-san didn't come." "But she said she's worried about you." " I met him." " Him?" " Boy A, Misaki Fumiya." " He's not in prison?" " He looks pretty healthy." " Don't tell Kaa-san about that." "Give it back." ""Shizuoka's primary school 3 girl gone missing"" "Futaba." "Do you know where my glasses are?" "No idea." " Okaa-san and Akari are at school?" " Yeah." " Hey, Otou-san." "Hm?" "When was the last time you met the other people?" "What do you mean by the other people?" "The other family." "Fukami Aki-chan's family." "Why do you ask?" "We haven't met at all." "Ever since then." "You met them?" "I didn't." "There's no way I can." "But this place isn't far away from there." "What if we pass each other in the station?" "We pretend not to know them and just pass them by like that." "If we properly talk it out with them, will they understand for us?" "It's been 15 years already anyway." "Things have changed since then." "Maybe they would accept our apology..." "Futaba." "Sorry." "We can't hope for that." "Nothing the assailant's family says could get through to anyone." "Yeah." "Maybe it's on the second floor." "You know if... just if..." "What will you do if Onii-chan comes home?" "Well, we don't have any room huh?" "No way, no way." "Just kidding." "Welcome back." " I'm home." " Yeah." "Ah, welcome." "Onii-san." "Please, have a seat." "Kouhei." " Is there any food you don't like?" " No." "Hey." "When are you gonna close the shop?" "Hiroki-kun is good at maths right?" "It'd be a great help if you could assist us with our administration." "I'm thinking of opening the shop starting tomorrow." "Huh?" "On your own?" "That's impossible." "If you don't want to work for us, I'll introduce other jobs to you." "It's alright." "My company has enough people." "Even so, he's still offering you the job." "Tou-san apologized before dying." "He regretted saying terrible things to you." "We can..." "We can just give birth to another child!" "In his own way, Tou-san was..." " Shall I get some wine?" " Yeah." "The white wine is in the refrigerator." "If you resent someone, then don't resent Tou-san." "Should you resent the one who killed Aki, Misaki Fumiya?" " I'm so sorry." " Are you alright?" "Here, Yuka." "Hey, don't mention that name here." "He's still alive." "Kaa-san, you don't want to know what Aki's murderer is doing now?" " Tou-san was..." " Hiroki-kun." "Please live happily for your Dad's sake too." "My father didn't wish for that." "My father was..." "I'm sorry." "Sorry for my intrusion." "You know, on Christmas that year after Aki died..." "Kaa-san and I went shopping and were on our way home..." "Somehow, looking at Santa decorations, all of a sudden, we felt lonely." "We went to the shop to fetch Dad, and came home together." "And then..." "There was a cake shop in front of the station right?" "That family was there." "The murderer's father, mother and younger sister bought a Christmas cake there." "While looking at them," "I thought I would do this, or I would do that." "I also think that way." "I also think the way you think." "But Junbei said this right?" "(*Junbei is a character in the popular manga ONE PIECE)" ""Don't always count what you have lost."" ""Just think about what you have left at the present."" " Who's Junbei?" " You haven't read it?" "Junbei is..." " Hey do you have an oven at home?" " Yeah." "You can just heat them up." " You saw it, right Kaa-san?" " Hm?" "That family when they bought the cake." "I forgot that already." "It's so long ago." "I don't think Tou-san didn't forget." "That's why until his last moments, he was seeking revenge..." "Did I just say something funny?" "I don't think it's funny though." "Yes, yes." "Be careful on your way back." "See you." "What are you doing?" "I'll start going to school tomorrow." "It's practice." "You put on make-up when you go to school?" "Normally one will right?" "Why don't you wear make-up, Onee-chan?" "I have no chance to wear it." "Because you don't wear make-up, you don't have any chance." "I won't become like you, Onee-chan." "I will choose the way I want to live myself." "You had your life set by Onii-chan, didn't you?" " I'm going to take a bath." " Yeah." "Greet the auntie there properly." " Yes~" " Okay." "Will Akari be alright at school?" "It's fine if she's managing well like her sister though." "Futaba is not someone who'll lose heart." "If it had been Akari, she couldn't have withstood our lifestyle at that time." "Thank God it's Futaba who is his younger sister." ""Kusama Farm"" "Good morning." "Oh." "Did you go out last night?" " Yes." " Where did you go?" "Don't investigate every little thing." "You were the one who got all worried last night." "Oh?" "What's that, Ken-chan?" "What is this?" "Have you disinfected it properly?" "What did you do?" "Jeez." "Welcome." " A nice morning, isn't it?" " Ah." "Can I come in?" "Where did you park your car?" " I came by bus." " By bus?" "Various things happened, and we moved house." "Now we're in Shizuoka." " Sorry." "The expenses are here." " Eh?" "Here." "Everything here is..." "Um..." "Ah- sorry." "That's just something I picked up." "I've never thought... that someone from the assailant's family would wear lipsticks." "Sorry." "Has Fumiya contacted you?" " He hasn't!" "He hasn't, he hasn't!" " I was just asking." "But..." "It's quite near to Mikazuki Moutain." "His retreating figure looks similar too." "Seems like it's gonna rain hard." "Maybe I'm going home then." "Hey Kenji we're going back." "Kenji?" "Rinka-chan's whereabouts are still unknown at this point." "Together with extending the search area, the police..." "I can tell what is happening inside that family." "Time drags by slowly, and it's really quiet." "In the house, there is this sound when the door clicks right?" "It's merely that sound, but it will make everyone in the family shudder." "As I thought, I just thought too much about it." "If the criminal behind this case is Fumiya..." "If that is the case, then maybe that child is also at the lake at Mikazuki Mountain..." "No." "I'm sure overthinking it." "Shall we go?" "To Mikazuki Mountain." "Eh?" " Sorry." " Ah, yes?" " Please take care of this too." " Ah, yes." "What's wrong?" "Eh?" " Aren't you mistaken?" " I'm not." "It's been like that since this morning." "Though we've just moved here the day before yesterday..." "Hello?" "It's been like that every 30 minutes." "Oh?" "Today you're bringing it too?" "You mean the knife?" "If I bring, do you have any problem with it?" "No." "Why did Fumiya kill my sister?" "Well, aren't you family?" " My brother was really kind." " There's no way he would be." "Sorry." "He was kind to me." "He often played with me." "I clung to my brother a lot." "How did you feel?" "After knowing that your own brother killed a 7-year-old child." "Does it matter?" "My mind was totally blank..." "I was 10 years old." "Both my parents were like that too." "For some reason, I just thought about what to prepare for dinner." "And then, there was a phone call, and the person said Onii-chan confessed his crime." "After that, many people came." "I was told that our family couldn't live there anymore." "Then I was entrusted to my grandparents in Odawara." "My shoes were really tight." "I didn't have much time so I didn't know what to bring." "I just brought dolls I didn't play and whatnot." "My parents said they would come get me soon but they didn't come at all." "In retrospection, I just kept on doing homework that I didn't really need to do while waiting." "Boy A's father has appeared before the press and apologized..." "My father appeared on television and his face was sorta like mosaic..." "I couldn't really see his face." "You know, that kind of mosaic..." " Cats... do you like cats?" " Huh?" "Cats." "Cute little kittens." "When I..." "When I was in kindergarten, my brother and I used to go to the river to play." "There were cardboards floating on the river." "Among those, there were cats..." "There were many little kittens standing on those cardboards." "And then, my brother swam into the river and saved them." "But when he got on the bank, there was one kitten that was still alive." "We rushed to the veterinarian but when we arrived, that kitten also died." "Then, though I was yet to understand everything..." "Onii-chan looked like he was really shocked." "He cried for about a week, and didn't eat anything." "My brother who loved animals and was kind-hearted..." "When he saw poor countries on the TV, he would use his New Year's gift money to raise funds." "He would give his seat to the elderly." "When I cooked for him, he would say "Delicious, delicious!" while eating the food." "He is really kind..." "There was only one time..." "I received a letter from my brother." "A letter?" "I haven't talked to him ever since that day, there was only one time a letter was sent and addressed to me." "Not to your parents?" "It was one year after he was arrested." "Maybe that was when he was in the reform institution in Tokyo." " What was written in that letter?" " There was only one line." "Only one line." ""Sorry for the summer festival getting canceled."" "That's the only line." "Ah, I was given a yukata before summer." "Onii-chan knew that I was really looking forward to the summer festival." "He remembered that." "That's why..." "That's why he said sorry." "Sorry, he said?" "Even now you still love your brother a lot, don't you?" "Ah..." "He hit the head of a 7-year-old child uncountable times with a hammer grabbed her hands and legs and threw her into the river as if she were an object!" "He left her behind in that cold water..." "He committed that horrendous homicide..." " That's not true!" " What is not true?" "Well..." "What is not true?" " It could have been a false charge, right?" " What?" "There is a possibility that it's a false charge, isn't there?" "There's such a thing from time to time." "By some chance, the murderer was someone else and it was a false charge..." " What are you talking about?" "Because there's no way Onii-chan could have done..." "What are you talking about?" "What on earth are you talking about?" "Was Christmas fun?" "Was your Christmas cake delicious?" "You people..." "Your family went to buy a Christmas cake that year, didn't you?" "There wasn't any Christmas for my family!" "And not just Christmas!" "New Year, Girls' Festival, Star Festival, birthdays." "We have nothing!" "We didn't have any of those in the last 15 years!" "Of course it must be." "Of course the people who suffered can't forget, but the ones who caused the suffering can right?" "How about..." "How about I let you experience the same thing?" "How about I let you experience the same thing Aki did?" "If not, you're never gonna understand right?" "You're never gonna understand right!" "?" "Go ahead." "Just do it." "I understand that." "My whole family understand that." "Because people all over Japan have said to us." "That the family of the murder should just die to repent." "That the whole family should just commit suicide together to redeem ourselves." "I don't want to die, but I don't want to live either." "My younger sister even told me this." ""Onee-chan, you didn't choose your own life right?" she said." "But I didn't think that way at all." "I chose it myself." "This is the kind of result of my own decision." "I don't regret or anything." "This is who I am." "This is my life." "Go ahead." "It's fine." "I won't tell others that you killed me." "Or rather... how can I say it if I'm already dead?" "I didn't eat that cake." "The cake shop owner gave it to me, and when I brought it home, my father said I couldn't eat it." "Perhaps what you saw wasn't when our family went together to buy the cake but when we returned the cake." "My father properly said that I couldn't eat it." "Onii-chan." " Hello?" " "Right now..."" ""...the person you are calling cannot pick up the phone."" ""Please leave your name and your message after the beep."" "Um, I'm leaving you a message." "Seems that the missing girl was found." "It's not an incident or anything." "She was just with her divorced father." "It wasn't Fumiya." " Otou-san." " Hm?" "I'm going out to buy something." "Can you watch Yuuri for me?" " She's riding her bicycle in front of the house." " Bicycle?" "You mean that shattered one?" "Ken-chan fixed it for me." "He's been going somewhere and getting injured recently right?" "That's because he fixed the bike for Yuuri." "It's like a new one now." "That piece of scrap metal?" "Hey you, isn't that too much?" "This area." "Shall we make yakiniku today?" "Or do you want sukiyaki?" "Ah, as I thought, let's make yakiniku." "Then, I'm going." "What do you think about my idiot daughter?" " Sorry?" " Well..." "Well, maybe it's because I've done lots of wrong in the past." "Because I want to atone for that," "For generations, I've hired men who were discharged from prison." "Everyone did his job well." "No one is bad by nature." "But you see, Kenji." "Only the time I hired you, I was hesitant." "Listening to your circumstance, many time I thought of turning you down." "Yes." "Well, it's different now." "Now I even think that you may not have been the one who did that sort of thing." "It's just that..." "It's just that when it comes to my daughter, I'm really powerless." "I can't help worrying for her." "Well, sorry, sorry." "It's nothing." "Just forget about it." " Shachou, you don't have to worry." " Hm?" "I will never love anyone again." "Nor will I let someone love me for the rest of my life." "Onee-chan, I'm gonna borrow this." ""To Misaki Fumiya-sama"" "What are these?" ""The recipient's address can't be found"" "Onii-chan, your porridge." "Just put it there." "If you don't eat, you won't be able to go to the festival." "Hey, hey, did you see it?" "Futaba's yukata." "It's really lovely." "There's no way it will get canceled." "Onii-chan, what is this?" ""Red poppy"" ""Onii-chan, how are you?"" ""It's been really hot these days, isn't it?"" ""Are you eating properly?" "How is your health?"" ""Of course Futaba is doing well."" ""Everyday I take the Ginza line to go to work."" ""Do you know what car navigation systems are?""

""Okaa-san has sharpened her patchwork skills..."" ""...so that she can teach them to her students now."" ""And then our sister Akari..."" ""Akari likes Onii-chan very much."" "" 'Though she's never met me' you may ask?"" ""Of course that's because I tell her about you every day."" ""Everyone is waiting for you to come home."" ""Till the day Onii-chan comes back and say "I'm home"..."" ""I'll sincerely be waiting for it."" ""You don't have to worry about anything."" ""Please just come back home straightforwardly."" ""I'll be waiting." "Even now, Futaba always has..."" ""...and always will believe that you're innocent."" ""P/S: are there windows at your place?"" ""Times when you feel troubled, you can look at the morning sun."" ""Futaba is always doing that."" ""When I look at the morning sun, my hope will gush forth so I can go on living."" "It's cold right?" "Why don't you go home?" "Even if you come to this place now, there's no evidence left here anymore." "Though you insisted that he was innocent..." " It's my brother." " Sorry?" "The murderer is my brother." "The one who killed Aki-chan is my brother." "Why?" "Onii-chan and I..." "planted lots of flowers on the grave of those drowned kittens." "We planted this red flower..." "It's red poppy." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry..." "I don't need your apologies." "Onii-chan might go kill other people again." "Maybe he is a serial killer..." "I exaggerated." "That was just me probably overthinking it." "I don't really know." " I know." " Why?" "Because Onii-chan tried to kill me once." "If I had died at that time," "Aki-chan might have not had to die." "Ken-chan, you're mysterious." "Though you're younger than me, it just seems like you know a lot of things." "Hey." "Where were you before coming here?" "Hey." "It's dangerous." "Um, I'm really sorry." "Then, I'll take my leave." " Seems that the festival is just nearby." " Yes." "Do you wanna drop by for a bit?" "You don't keep that yukata anymore?" "I don't." "Even if I have it, it will be this short." "I see." " Um..." " I just don't understand." "At that time, Fumiya was a friend." "I know nothing about him except for the times he was my friend." "Just like how you know nothing about him except for when he was your kind brother." "It would be better if I detested you but you don't..." "look like the type I would hate at all." "Um, I'm changing the topic." "Did you watch the World Cup last year?" " Sorry?" " World Cup." "That soccer thing." "Ah, it was shown on the TV at the place I worked part-time." " Do you know this player named Endo?" " The one with the blond hair?" "That one is Honda." "Endo scored a goal from an amazing free kick." "All the players hugged each other, and there was this "We did it!" feeling all throughout Japan." "Ah, it felt like that at my place too." "Did you feel like "We did it!" then?" " I didn't." " Neither did I." "That's where..." "That's where we are similar." "There is not much of a difference." "Though one's from the family of the victim and the other the family of the assailant." " We..." " We?" "From now onwards, will we do that?" "Do that?" "Would we able to think "We did it!" and do a guts-pose like this?" "Re-timed to 704 version by nomanymore"
