"Yes." "It seems like I still have memories from it." "Since I was a child," "I sometimes remember things I'm not supposed to know." "It's probably... because I had experienced those before I was reincarnated." "It was a woman." "She was probably strangled to death." "Therefore, I'm very confident that I could play the role of someone being killed." "All right." "Is there anyone else?" "Any questions for the director or whatever?"

"I've seen that girl's face." "Wait." "Her memories went inside me." "Nagisa!" "Please stop doing this, huh?" "So, if... even if you are the reincarnation of that girl, it doesn't mean you'll get killed at the same hotel." "That's..." "You understand that this movie is a big chance for you, right?" "Everybody, thank you for enduring the long trip." "We've arrived at the location." "What are you doing?" "I'm sorry." "Ouch!" "Are you all right?" "Let me do it." "They didn't have to lock up that hard." "I'm fine." "Director, please come in." "Please watch your head." "Be careful." "Please be careful." " Open the door over there." " Okay." "We are coming in."

"What are you doing?" "We're looking for her downstairs, too." " Where is the restroom?" " Downstairs." "Sugiura..." "Please." "Isn't this room..." "The girl you're to playing... was killed here." "You seem very intuitive." "She's really running late." "I didn't expect you to know someone like that." "What?" "You said you wanted to meet her, right?"

"Why did you want me to play that girl's role?" "Why?" "Because you were in that room then." "This is to be used for the movie." "One of the victims' family let me borrow it." "The girl you're playing... was holding this doll when she got killed." "This must have a soul of regret." "I want you to think deeply of that girl when she was killed as she held this doll." "They left me as the Ione survivor." "I'm praying for them every day." "However, those children have not... found peace yet." "That's what I feel." "Here you are." "When that incident happened...

"Her family contacted me and said she hasn't come home since then." "If you know anything, please call me." "Bye." "Be cautious of what's behind you, too." "Sometime, you stumble." "That's it." "You can breathe hard." "You'll trip over right there." "That's it." "Stay there for a while." "Slowly look forward and get up." "It's like you are sucked in." "Good." "As you're stumbling... you still watch behind you." "Yeah, this side, too." "That's a dead end." "Be aware of your right first." "That's it." "And, then turn left." "Quickly." " Good."
