Thank you for waiting.

Nice to meet you, I'm Haruna Tsutsumi.

I'm Sumiko Hayama.

Cake? You shouldn't have.

Thank you so much for making time to meet with me.

Rin, go to your room.

Sure.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

Is she your daughter?

No, my niece.

Nearby is a private school.

I care for her while she attends.

You two seem close.

You're a student, no?

Yes, I study folklore.

My thesis is on mysterious disappearances.

But it keeps coming out as uninspired.

So, you've come to me?

I want to write about something that no one's heard of.

I meet a lot of people like you.

But they are never truly serious.

They never believe me.

Well, I'm...

You're fine. From our text communications

I found I can trust you.

Ms. Hayama, please tell me.

How, on January 8th, 2004,

you traveled to another world.

I worked late and had to take the last train of the day.

I asked my brother to pick me up at Saginomiya Station.

Although no tunnels exist on this line,

we suddenly entered one.

I didn't know what was going on.

Then I noticed the train was in an area I didn't know.

There was a man in a business suit,

three young people,

and a high school girl. All five were asleep.

With the curtain drawn, I couldn't see the conductor's compartment.

Excuse me, do you go to Hama High School?

Hey, please wake up!

Sorry.

Where am I?

I fell asleep!

Where is this?

Daisuke, check where we are.

Phone's dead.

Everyone was confused by the situation.

Then the train arrived at a station.

We're stopping.

Where are we?

The door opened.

Kisaragi

Kisaragi Station...

Did you exit the train?

We thought we'd missed our stops.

But...

Yes, I'd never heard of the station.

It still doesn't work.

Kisaragi? Never heard of the place.

It's your fault.

Sorry.

Can we go back?

You. Is there another train?

You got ears?

I don't know.

Useless.

Hey, know where the bathroom is?

No...

It's gotta be someplace.

Are you okay?

I wanted to get off at Saginomiya.

Is there a return train?

Sorry, I've no idea.

What is it?

That wall over there...

The wall?

It looks okay to me.

Sorry, I'm just a bit jumpy.

That's a Hama High School uniform. Do you know me?

No, I don't.

I teach at Hama.

Really?

Just for a year so I guess I'm not well known yet.

Sorry.

I'm Sumiko Hayama, 10th grade assistant homeroom teacher.

I'm Asuka Miyazaki, a senior.

Hey.

Wake me when a train comes.

Got it?

Jerk!

Well, did you?

You give me an order?

You got it wrong.

What then?

I only said let's wait for a train.

Can we get something to drink?

Are you okay?

I'm sorry!

After that, I went outside to look for another means to get home

with Miyazaki, the student.

But there were only houses around the station.

And the houses were...

They didn't look inhabited. None of them.

Hello, is anyone home?

Hello!

There's no one over there.

No one anywhere. Don't you think it's weird?

Let's look a bit more.

Run for it, Miki!

Dumbass!

Shota, wait for me!

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

What was that about? Let's go back.

My God! What the hell was that?

Daisuke... Daisuke...

Keep it down in there.

What happened?

No idea. But Daisuke, he...

I want to go home.

Come on.

Where are you going?

To the next station.

Idiot. A train will come soon.

You wait, I won't.

Hey kid! What's going on here?

Where's your pal?

What is that?

It's Daisuke!

No, I can't take this.

Let's go.

How ridiculous.

We shouldn't stay here.

We're going too.

You believe those two?

Look at these homes.

They're all empty. Don't you think it's odd?

Come on.

You're really going?

Are you serious?

After that, we walked for hours.

Wait!

What?

What happened back there?

You wouldn't believe me.

Tell me!

We don't know ourselves.

We were walking when Daisuke said we should go back.

No one tells me what to do so I laid one on him.

I left him. Then...

He wanted help but I was too scared.

We had no choice! You saw his face.

What happened?

His body got covered with veins.

After that we got the hell out of there.

It's Daisuke! What should I do?

Screw it! - You answer!

It's your phone, you answer!

Incoming call from Daisuke

Hello? Is this Daisuke? Are you all right?

Daisuke?

Look at him.

I came to tell you it sounds like a festival is nearby.

Can you hear it?

Drums?

It means someone's here!

Shota, this is...

We heard drums when Daisuke was attacked.

Run!

Let's get out of here.

Wait, why go? We can be saved!

No! What's happening to me?!

I'm exhausted, Shota. I need rest.

I can't go another step.

Get up!

You go on ahead.

No...

You're scared to go alone.

What?

Let's rest together.

Get off your ass!

Stop it!

You ordering me around?
