official # Exported by Aegisub 9527-cibuilds-3adc9e69d Good evening. There's just one piece of advice I'd like to give you... ...about getting started in high school. As you know our school motto is freedom... Excuse me! Can I talk to you for a sec? I knew it was you! Who are... you? Lady Shiki, please be back early tonight. As the night deepens, the darkness thickens. I think I wander about in a peopleless town because I want to be alone. Or, do I do it because I want to believe I'm alone? Here you go. What? It's a souvenir from Okinawa. Oh, yeah. I remember you saying you were going there. The ocean was beautiful and the weather was great. I went swimming every day. It was the best! You certainly got tanned. You're looking cool as usual, Shiki. Right now it's fine, but it'll get tough soon. Are you dressed in that even in the winter? Probably. I'll be fine. I'll wear a jacket. So, there's a jacket you can wear over a kimono. Of course, there is! Oh, really? Like a leather jacket? What? Like I said, there was a murder... on the last day of the summer break in the shopping street on the west side. The media hasn't covered it yet. It sounds disturbing. Mr. Kokutou, why do you know such a thing? We know someone in that field. I hear that the corpse's arms and legs were cut off and left there. Both arms and legs? Is that enough to kill a human? When one bleeds massively, vital activity stops due to oxygen starvation. But I'd imagine his death was caused by hemorrhagic shock. Hmm? Who did it? I'm sorry. This story has nothing to do with you. No... it's not that it has nothing to do with me. It's just... What? It's not something you'd talk about while eating. You're right. So, you think it's the same...? It's highly likely. The fourth victim, eh? This is gruesome. How long has passed since the time of death? About three hours. Huh? What the heck is this? Starting today, all extracurricular activities have been banned. All students must go home immediately. Once again, all extracurricular activities have been banned. All students must go home immediately. Miss Ryougi. That's me. What is it? Are you looking for Mr. Kokutou? Who are you? I know you are irritated, but four times is a bit too much, isn't it? I have an umbrella. I'm all right. I'm waiting for someone to come pick me up. I'll stay with you until then. Is that all right? Mr. Kokutou! Yes! What is it? Where were you until now? Oh, I was in the Student Council Room. We had a farewell party for an upperclassman by the name of Rio Shirazumi. He quit, saying there was something else he'd rather do. I invited you, didn't I? How come you didn't come? So, you were serious. Of course! What are you thinking, Shiki? The fifth one... You got me. You must be tired. How was your match with your father? Leave me alone, Akitaka. I can change on my own. It's not like you are assigned to me exclusively. You probably have better luck serving my brother. At the end of the day, it's a male who will succeed to the family. No. You are the only heir who will succeed the Ryougi Family. Your older brother did not inherit what it takes. I don't see the point of this! I wonder what he'd think if he finds out that there is another "Shiki" inside me. Is it true that you're going out with Ryougi? Gakuto, what do you mean by that? What do you mean? It's widely known that you are totally into Ryougi. Widely known...? You called just to ask me that? You guys can only practice during lunch breaks nowadays, right? Why don't you get back to the Judo Club? Don't keep me hanging. Answer me. It's a misunderstanding. Shiki and I are just friends. Shiki, huh? Why would she let "just a classmate" call her by her first name? That's what she wants. She says she doesn't like to be called "Ms. Ryougi" or "Ms. Shiki." Are you serious? When I called her Ms. Ryougi once before, she glared at me. Ooh, sounds scary... Now, do you understand? Sure. It sounds so "unromantic", though. Then, there was nothing to you guys sharing an umbrella in the rain. Wait a sec! Why do you know about that? Just because... she's a loner but everyone is in interested in her. So, the smallest detail could be the talk of the town. This school is a college prep school, isn't it? Seniors say that we place students in jobs at a pretty high rate. Anyway... why did you pick Ryougi? She doesn't look like your type. Shiki is not a scary girl. What do you mean, "we're just friends"? She's really scary. The fact that you don't see that means you're crazy about her. I already know that. What do you like about her, then? Her appearance? Shiki does have a cute side. If she were an animal, I'd say she'd be a rabbit... She's not the type who'd die because she's lonely, is she? Hey, Kokutou. Did you wait long? Sorry. It took way too long to put Akitaka off track. What is it? You're mad because I'm late only an hour or so? You're more narrow-minded than I thought. Well...um...you...are...Shiki, right? Yeah, what else can I be? More importantly, we're wasting time. I'll let you decide where we're going. Let's go! In the simplest terms, it's a dual personality. I'm SHIKI and the one you usually see is Shiki. But we are not separate persons. There is only one Shiki (SHIKI) Ryougi. I'd say that the difference between us is the order of priority. Order of priority? I wanted to talk to you, Kokutou. That's all there's to it. But it's not exactly a top priority for Shiki. So, I'm doing it in her place. Do you get it? Well... sort of... But why are you telling me this? Because I didn't think we could keep it from you much longer. To tell you the truth, I'm like Shiki's impulse for destruction. That's what she wants to do most. But there has been no one to act it out upon. But, don't worry. I speak differently, but I'm still Shiki. I won't start acting violently out of the blue. But, then again, she and I have been kind of out of sync. Hmm? Well, no matter how much I struggle, Shiki has control over this body. I'm here like this because Shiki thought it would be okay to let me see you. I guess I'll regret saying this to you later. Saying it's all right to see Kokutou is not something Shiki would say. Right? You're right. That's what I like about you. But Shiki doesn't. This is why I say we're out of sync. That's it for today. See ya! I really like you. So I'll see you again very soon. Here you go. Some tea... Thank you, auntie. You two still have that habit? It must run in the family. Peeling oranges and lining them up like that. Your grandpa used to do the same. It's almost dinnertime. So, don't eat too much. Daisuke, you're gonna join us, aren't you? By the way, what's for dinner? It's sukiyaki. I'll be joining you! I'd like to know what menu you'd say no to. Back to what I was saying... the second victim's body was split into two halves. The third body had all the hands and feet cut off. The hands were sewed onto the legs and feet were sewed onto the arms. The fourth victim was cut into pieces with some sort of symbol inscribed. And, I hear that the fifth one's limbs were forced into a fylfot... It's a straightforward psycho. Right. The straightforwardness seems very intentional. Mikiya, what's your take on this? I have no expert opinions that I can offer. But... But...? I think it's getting better at it. There's no motivation and it is not systematic. It's been happening only outdoors, but once there are no prey... ...wandering about at night, it may start breaking into homes. Now, what I'm about to tell you is absolutely confidential. It's all right. Don't tell me if it's confidential. What I mean is... You want to tell me, don't you? It's not that. I'll let you know because you're not completely unrelated. We found this where the fifth victim's body was. This is our... Right. Your school emblem. I may come over to the school soon. Here. A present. I don't want it. Auntie, do you need some help? Are you going back to the police station? Yeah, by nine-ish. When the third trimester started, Shiki was more isolated than ever. We're gonna leave you behind! It's because I could even see that... Wait up! she was showing rejection to the people around her. Hey, Kokutou, have I told you that I don't like people? This is the first I've heard of it. But, is it true? Yeah. Shiki hasn't liked people since she was little. You know, when you're little, you don't know anything. You think everyone you meet and the entire world... ...love you unconditionally. And, because you like that person... you think he or she will like you too. Come to think of it, I guess that's true. But it's necessary to stay ignorant, Kokutou. Even if it's a misconception, the actual feeling of being loved becomes part of your experience and helps you act nicely to others. People can express only the feelings that they actually possess. But I'm different. I've known others since I was born. Because Shiki already had me inside her. When she saw early on how ugly others were, she couldn't love them. The only feeling she possesses is rejection. If that's the case, haven't you been lonely? Why? Shiki has me. She was isolated but not lonely. But Shiki is acting weird lately. She has a psycho like me inside her, but she wants to deny it. Denial is my territory. Shiki is supposed to be able to only affirm. I wonder why... Kokutou, have you ever wanted to kill someone? Not so far. Is that so? But, that's all I have. What? My persona accounts for Shiki's oppressed directivity. So, I've always killed my own will. I've always killed the darkness called "me". I've killed myself over and over again. I told you that people can express only the feelings that they possess. And... the only feeling I've experienced is murder. This is why, Kokutou, Shiki's definition of murder... is to kill me. She kills those who try to release me. Shiki wants to kill everyone who tries to open the lid of her... in order to protect herself. Shiki... Let's eat lunch together. How dare you...? Shiki, you're a little mad, aren't you? A little?! I don't know why, but you irritate me, Mr. Kokutou. I don't know why you are trying to get involved... or why your attitude doesn't change after all this. I just don't get it. I don't know why, either. I like being with you, but I don't know why I like it. Well... if you're referring to our conversation yesterday, I may be an optimist after all. Mr. Kokutou, do you understand that I am a psycho? Yeah. You're far from normal. See? And you should acknowledge that. I'm not the type of person who can be involved in a normal way. Normal or abnormal is not relevant to going out with someone. But, I can't be like you. Shiki, that injury... I got it at the time of that murder the other day. Oh, come on! If you didn't get what SHIKI said, I'll give it to you straight. If this goes on like this, I'm positive I'll kill you. Gakuto was right... I wish I had noticed much sooner. I've been totally crazy about her for a long time... I'm home! Welcome home. Daisuke is here? Yes, he is. Hi, there. Ah, you're home! What brings you here today? I'm getting some rest here before my night shift. You're working on that string of murders? Yeah, there was a sixth victim three days ago. What? But... There's media gag order for now. The upper management decided that... it wasn't a good idea to scare the public even more. You were talking about coming to my school. Whatever happened to that? What's up? You didn't sound too interested the other day but you seem to be a lot more eager today. No matter. Just tell me if you have any info. All right. A piece of skin was collected from under a nail of the female victim. She must've resisted like hell. Does that mean the suspect is injured? According to forensics, the suspect probably got gouged around the elbow. We're doing blood test, too. So, it'll be a checkmate soon. What's the matter, Mikiya? You look pale. I had a hunch... I had this image of her standing still in front of a corpse... She's not here? I see. I'm sorry to have bothered you late at night. Good-bye. When I was little, I was scared of ghosts. The shadows of bamboo forests looked like specters and I was so scared. Now, I am scared of people. It's just the illusion of someone hiding in the bamboo forest that scares me. Since when did we realize that unidentified beings were just strangers? It's hard to get rid of bad feelings. Now that I think about it, I believe Shiki said something similar. I knew I wouldn't get to see her if I went. But still, I wanted to see the lights on at Shiki's house and I headed back from the train station. Be careful, Mr. Kokutou. Bad feelings tend to attract bad realities. Mikiya, are you positive you saw no one? I saw no one. Are you sure? I said I didn't see anyone! Daisuke, don't push any harder for now. Shit! It would've been much easier if you'd been a witness... Daisuke... What is it? Did you remember something? Did you investigate the members of the Ryougi family? No. They said it wasn't inside their property... and they had nothing to do with whatever happened outside. I see. Lady Shiki, may I...? What is it? There seems to be someone camping out in front of the estate. I heard that my father had gotten rid of the police. This seems to be someone else. I have nothing to do with it, do I? It looks like it is your classmate who's out there. I will ask him to leave, if you instruct me to. You can leave the likes of him alone. Good night, Lady Shiki. Are you sure you're feeling OK? Yeah. If I go now, I should make it to the afternoon classes. Why don't you stay home one more day? I'm fine, Mom. I'll see you later. All right. Mr. Kokutou, on the night of February 3, you were... I don't wanna talk about it. What do you mean, Kokutou?! Tell me! Why are you keeping it a secret from the police? Because I didn't see anything. You just happened to be there and that's all I saw. So, I decided to believe... To tell you the truth, it's hard for me right now. So, I'm trying really hard... Once I have enough confidence in myself, I'll be able to listen to what you have to say. So, for now, let's not talk about it, all right? From that day, Shiki started ignoring me completely. Even so, I went to Shiki's house every day and camped out. What an idiotic optimist! I'm surprised you asked me out. Have you decided to stop ignoring me? I called you here because I can't do so. Huh? You said I wasn't a murderer, but... Unfortunately... I'm a murderer. You did see the site. Why are you letting me off the hook? How am I letting you off the hook? You didn't do anything like that. Even though I'm telling you I am a murderer? You can't do anything like that. I know that for sure! What do you know for sure? What can you understand about me? What can you believe about me? I have no foundation, but I think I'll continue to believe in you. Yeah. Because I love you. I want to keep believing in you. You're an idiot. Yeah, people tell me that all the time. Hey, Kokutou, are you coming today? What? What are you doing?! Your house is right there! I think I have a towel... Got it! Shiki... What's the matter? Shiki! Kokutou... Kokutou!! Kokutou... Say something... Kokutou... I... I don't want to die. I want to kill you. Well, I'll be gone for a little while. I should be back in two hours or so. Don't forget a souvenir! Once a week... I go see her in the hospital in the afternoon on Saturdays. I don't know how much she suffered... or what she was thinking... or why she tried to kill me. But the frail smile she showed me in the end was good enough for me. I remember Shiki in the glow of the sunset after school on the last day of school. In the bright colors of the sunset, she asked, "What can you believe about me?" I repeat the same answer I gave her that day. "I have no foundation, but I think I'll continue to believe in Shiki, because I love you. I want to keep believing in you." She kills no one. I can say that for sure. Because she knows the pain of murder. You're a victim and a perpetrator at the same time. So, you know better than anyone else that it is full of sorrow. That's all the more reason why I believed... The Shiki that was never hurt and the SHIKI riddled with hurt... you always looked vulnerable and sadly were never able... to express your true feelings. April of 1995... I met her. Three pieces have been prepared; A double-body that floats depending on death. An ill-fit being that takes pleasure by contacting death. The one that awakens the origins by escaping to death. They become entwined with each other and wait at the conflicting spirals. I feel like crying. Wounds are not something you must put up with. Pain is there so you can complain about it. You being how you are now, I'm going to kill you. If Shiki goes alone, she may get killed by her intended victim, Ryougi... Twist!!! If it is a living being, I can even kill a god. Is it all right for me to cry?

pretentious # Exported by Aegisub 9527-cibuilds-3adc9e69d Good evening. There's just one piece of advice I'd like to give you about getting started in high school. As you know, our school motto is freedom... Excuse me! Can I talk to you for a sec? I knew it was you! Who... are you? Lady Shiki, please come back early tonight. As the night deepens, the darkness thickens. I think I wander about in the empty town because I want to be alone. Or do I do it because I want to believe I'm alone? Here you go. What? It's a souvenir from Okinawa. Oh, yeah. I remember you saying you were going there. The ocean was beautiful and the weather was great. I went swimming every day. It was awesome! You got so tan. You always look so cool, Shiki. I'm fine right now, but the weather will get rough soon. Are you going to wear that even during winter? Probably. But I'll be fine. I'll wear a jacket too. So there's a jacket you can wear over a kimono? Of course there is! Oh, really? Like a leather jacket? What? Like I said, there was a murder. It took place on the last day of summer break on the west side shopping street. The media hasn't covered it yet. It sounds disturbing. Why do you know about it, Mr. Kokuto? I know someone in that field. He said the corpse's arms and legs were cut off and left there. Both arms and legs? Is that enough to kill a human? When you bleed a massive amount of blood, vital activity stops due to oxygen starvation. But I'd imagine his death was caused by hemorrhagic shock. Do you know who did it? Oh, sorry. You don't care about it, huh. No... It's not that I don't care. It's just... Yeah? It's not something you'd talk about while eating. You're right. So, you think it's the same...? It's highly likely. The fourth victim, eh? This is gruesome. How long has it been since the time of death? About three hours. What the hell is this? Starting today, all extracurricular activities have been canceled. All students must go home immediately. Once again, all extracurricular activities have been canceled. All students must go home immediately. Miss Ryogi. Yes? What is it? Are you looking for Mr. Kokuto? Who are you? I know you're irritated, but four times is a bit excessive, isn't it? I have an umbrella. I'm all right. I'm waiting for someone to come pick me up. I'll stay with you until then. Do you mind? Mr. Kokuto! Yes?! What is it? Where were you until now? Oh, I was in the Student Council Room. We had a farewell party for an upperclassman by the name of Lio Shirazumi. He quit, saying there was something else he'd rather do. I invited you, didn't I? Why didn't you come? You were serious about that? Of course! What were you thinking, Shiki? The fifth one... You got me. You must be tired. How was your match with your father? Leave me alone, Akitaka. I can change by myself. It's not like you're assigned to me exclusively. You'd probably have better luck serving my brother. At the end of the day, it's a male who will succeed the family. No. You are the only heir who will succeed the Ryogi Family. Your older brother did not inherit what it takes. I don't see the point of this! I wonder what he'd think if he finds out that there's another "Shiki" inside me. Is it true that you're going out with Ryogi? What do you mean by that, Gakuto? What do YOU mean? It's widely known that you are totally into Ryogi. Widely known...? You called just to ask me that? You guys can only practice during lunch breaks nowadays, right? Why don't you get back to the Judo Club? Don't keep me hanging. Answer me. It's a misunderstanding. Shiki and I are just friends. Shiki, huh? Why would she let "just a classmate" call her by her first name? That's what she wants. She says she doesn't like to be called "Ms. Ryogi" or "Ms. Shiki." Are you serious? When I called her Ms. Ryogi once before, she glared at me. Ooh, sounds scary... Do you understand now? Sure. It sounds so "unromantic", though. So there was nothing to you guys sharing an umbrella in the rain? Wait a sec! Why do you know about that? Just because... she's a loner but everyone is interested in her. The smallest detail could be the talk of the town. This school is a college prep school, isn't it? Seniors say that we fill up jobs pretty quickly. Anyway... why did you pick Ryogi? She doesn't look like your type. Shiki isn't a scary girl. What do you mean, "we're just friends"? She's really scary. The fact that you don't see that means you're crazy about her. I already know that. So what do you like about her? Her appearance? Shiki does have a cute side. If she were an animal, I'd say she'd be a rabbit... She's not the type who'd die because she's lonely, is she? Yo, Kokuto. I keep ya waiting? Sorry man. Took me way too long to shake off Akitaka. What? You pissed 'cause I'm like an hour late? Man, you're more impatient than I thought you were. Well... um... you... are... Shiki, right? Yeah. Who do I look like? Anyway, let's get a move on it. I'll let you decide where we're going. C'mon, let's go! To put it in plain language, it's a dual personality. I'm SHIKI, and the usual one's Shiki. But we're not different people. There's only one Shiki Ryogi. I'd say that the difference between us is our priorities. Priorities? I wanted to talk to you, Kokuto. That's all there's to it. But it's not exactly a top priority for Shiki. So, I'm doing it in her place. You get it? Well... sort of... But why are you telling me this? Because I didn't think we could keep it from you much longer. To tell you the truth, I'm like Shiki's destructive impulse. That's what she wants to do most. But there has been no one to act it out upon. Don't worry. I may speak differently, but I'm still Shiki. I won't start acting violently out of the blue. But, then again, she and I have been kind of out of sync. Hmm? Well, no matter how much I try, Shiki is ultimately the one who has control over this body. I'm here right now because Shiki thought it would be okay to let me see you. I guess I'll regret saying this to you later. I mean, Shiki wouldn't say that she wants to see Kokuto, right? You're right. That's what I like about you. But Shiki doesn't. This is why I say we're out of sync. That's it for today. See ya! I really like you. So I'll see you again very soon. Here you go. Some tea... Thank you, Auntie. You two still have that habit? Peeling oranges and lining them up like that must run in the family. Your grandpa used to do the same. It's almost dinnertime, so don't eat too much. Daisuke, you're gonna join us, aren't you? That depends. What's for dinner? It's sukiyaki. Count me in. I'd like to know what menu you'd say no to. Anyway, like I was saying. The second victim's body was split into two halves. The third body had its hands and feet cut off. The hands were sewed onto the legs and the feet were sewed onto the arms. The fourth victim was cut into pieces with some sort of symbol inscribed. And I hear that the fifth one's limbs were forced into a swastika... You have a straightforward psycho on your hands. Right. The straightforwardness seems very intentional. Mikiya, what's your take on this? I have no expert opinions that I can offer. But... But...? I think your psycho is getting better at it. There's no motivation and it's not systematic. It's only been happening outdoors. But once he runs out of prey wandering about at night, he may start breaking into homes. Now, what I'm about to tell you is absolutely confidential. It's all right. Don't tell me if it's confidential. What I mean is... You want to tell me, don't you? It's not that. I'm letting you know because it might concern you. We found this where the fifth victim's body was. This is our... Right. Your school emblem. I may drop by your school soon. Here. A present. I don't want it. Auntie, do you need some help? Are you going back to the police station? Yeah, around nine-ish. When the third trimester started, Shiki was more isolated than ever. Hurry up or we're leaving you behind. Hold on. Because even I could see that she was showing rejection to the people around her. Hey, Kokuto, have I told you that I don't like people? This is the first I've heard of it. But, is it true? Yeah. Shiki hasn't liked people since she was little. You know, when you're little, you don't know anything. You think everyone you meet and the entire world love you unconditionally. And, because you like that person, you think he or she will like you too. Come to think of it, I guess that's true. But it's necessary to stay ignorant, Kokuto. Even if it's a misconception, the actual feeling of being loved becomes part of your experience and helps you act nicely to others. People can express only the feelings that they actually possess. But I'm different. Since I was inside of Shiki, I've known someone else since I was born. When she saw early on how ugly others were, she couldn't love them. The only feeling she possesses is rejection. If that's the case, haven't you been lonely? Why? Shiki has me. She was isolated, but not lonely. But Shiki has been acting weird lately.

I've always killed the darkness called "me". I've killed myself over and over again. I told you that people can express only the feelings that they possess. And... the only feeling I've experienced is murder. This is why, Kokuto, Shiki's definition of murder... is to kill me. She kills those who try to release me. As a form of self-defense, Shiki wants to kill everyone who tries to open her lid. Shiki... Let's eat lunch together. How dare you... Shiki, you're a little mad, aren't you? A little?! I don't know why, but you irritate me, Mr. Kokuto. I don't know why you're trying to get involved, or why your attitude hasn't changed after all this. I just don't get it. I don't know why, either. I like being with you, but I don't know why I like it. Well... if you're referring to our conversation yesterday, I may be an optimist after all. Mr. Kokuto, do you understand that I'm a psycho?

The person who is out there appears to be your classmate. If you instruct me to, I shall ask him to leave. You can let him be. Good night, Lady Shiki. Are you sure you're feeling OK? Yeah. If I go now, I should make it for afternoon classes. Why don't you stay home one more day? I'm fine, Mom. I'll see you later. All right. Mr. Kokuto, on the night of February the 3rd, you were... I don't wanna talk about it. What do you mean, Kokuto?! Tell me! Why are you keeping it a secret from the police? Because I didn't see anything. You just happened to be there and that's all I saw.

Hey, Kokuto, are you coming today? What? What are you doing?! Your house is right there! I think I have a towel... Got it! Shiki... What's the matter? Shiki! Kokuto... Kokuto!! Kokuto... Say something... Kokuto... I... I don't want to die. I want to kill you. Well, I'll be gone for a little while. I should be back in a couple hours or so. Don't forget to bring me something back! I go see her in the hospital every Saturday afternoon. I don't know how much she has suffered, or what she was thinking, or why she tried to kill me, but the frail smile she showed me in the end was good enough for me. I recall how Shiki stood in the glow of the sunset on the last day of school. In the bright colors of the sunset, she asked, "What can you believe about me?" I repeat the same answer I gave her that day. "I have no foundation but I think I'll continue to believe in you. I want to keep believing in you because I love you." She kills no one. I can say that for sure. Because she knows the pain of murder. You're a victim and a perpetrator at the same time. Thus, you know better than anyone else that it's full of sorrow. That's all the more reason why I decided to believe. The Shiki who was never hurt and the SHIKI who only knew hurt. You always looked so vulnerable. Sadly, you were never able to express your true feelings. April of 1995... That's when I met her. Three pieces have been prepared; A double-body that floats depending on death. An ill-fit being that takes pleasure by contacting death. The one who awakens the origins by escaping to death. They become entwined with each other and wait at the conflicting spirals. I... feel like crying. Listen, you don't have to tolerate pain. It's something you can speak up about. I'm going to kill the current you. If Shiki goes alone, she may be the one who loses instead, Ryogi. Twist!!!!! I can kill anything that's alive, even if it happens to be a god. Can I cry?
