Isn't Anyone Alive? (生きてるものはいないのか)

ISN'T ANYONE ALIVE

Jinsei University

Hello.

Yes?

Excuse me.

Where is the University Hospital? I got lost.

You're on campus. It's that way.

I'm pretty sure that I came from that direction...

One wrong mm and you get lost in this maze.

There are various ways you could go.

What's the easiest way?

Go up those steps by that building.

Turn left at the top and stay on the long path.

When you get to the end, go right. That's the West Gate.

Turn right at the end.

OK, I see.

- Yes? - Thank you.

You're welcome.

Can you explain?

I'm sorry.

- It's not your fault. - He's a slob.

You still love me, right?

Well...I do.

Can I have your name again?

It's Shijima.

It's Kaori Shijima.

It means 400,000.

What an unusual name...

What do you want, Kaori?

Well...

I'm sorry to bother you, but

can I take your orders if that's OK?

Just a moment...Can we have more time?

I have to leave.

I'll talk to Mother. I want you two to talk this over.

This is going nowhere.

OK, Katsufumi?

Okay.

Well then?

I don't know.

- Come on... - Ready to order?

A regular coffee.

One regular coffee.

- What's this Brown Sugar Sundae...? - This isn't that kind of occasion!

I know. I'm just curious about how it's made.

Forget about it!

Does the Caramel Green Tea Latte come with ice cream?

- If you like. - Yes please.

How inappropriate.

- I'm thirsty. - Then have Chinese tea!

So you want a coffee and a Caramel Green Tea Latte with ice cream?

Can I have a Black Sesame Soya Milk Latte instead?

One Black Sesame Soya Milk Latte.

That's all?

Yes.

Excuse me.

- Black sesame and soya milk? - So?

- It's a meal! - No. it's a latte.

What about the ingredients?

You put sesame and soya milk on your rice?

I don't but...

It's a latte then.

I bet it tastes savoury.

Everybody drinks it.

Gross.

Anyway, what will you do?

I don't know... What can be done?

- I'm having it. - Why?

I don't want to abort.

Really...

What do you want?

What options are there?

What?

What are the options?

What's your problem...?

Option 1, you leave her and marry me.

2, marry her and pay child support.

Or lose us both and pay child support.

By the way, I won't marry you.

Right. ls there an option without payment?

No!

Oh, really?

Yes, that's the law. It's a crime not to pay.

Really?

How about I don't pay and get arrested?

No! That's not an option.

Of course I won't choose it.

But it should be presented as an option.

No! Are you an idiot?

I am not.

What should I do...?

I don't know! You decide.

Can I decide?

Who else can?

We can all talk it through and vote.

This is not up to the majority.

I know that.

If you ever ended up marrying Ryoko

it'd go nowhere.

You think so?

It's clear! Look how snobby she is!

Is that right?

I'll talk to Ryoko now.

I'll come too.

Why? Then Ryoko could have stayed.

Do you want that?

A horror magazine?

It's a ghost story issue.

- Urban myths? - Yes.

' What? . Huh?

You mean that myth?

These mags often throw in some urban myths.

Really...

- You interested? - No.

- Can I see? - Sure.

- This is bad. - What?

Some kind of train accident.

- The subway? - No, the JR line.

- Really? Where? - Sakamuke.

So close! ls the subway accident related?

There are no details.

- Anyone die? - I guess not.

- Is it a text? - No, the Net.

What's it say?

It happened when a train driver passed out.

How scary!

It must be terrorists.

- At Sakamuke? - Well...

- ls the subway operating? - Maybe.

You use the subway?

I can walk to another line, but if that's stopped...

You can stay at my place.

I'll stay with Match.

- This is boring. - It's so trashy.

- Throw it away. - But our myth is in it.

Really? Where?

- It's kind of censored. - What?

What?

Censored how?

- You're not interested. - True.

- It's a long story. - Make it short. I've got to go.

' A Buy? - No way!

Why deny it?

- On your behalf. - Thanks.

What is it?

Ryoko's wedding performance.

Ryoko's wedding?

- Enari's coming too. - I know.

Andre too.

- You weren't invited? - Ryoko and I aren't close.

That's true.

I'll do my Urban Myths thesis.

- The deadline's far off. - It isn't!

Oh no! I better get to work.

Don't worry.

That's why you fail!

It's the myth!

What is it?

- The University Hospital story. - What's that?

I told you when you stayed at my place!

The one about the human experiments in the basement?

- And? - It's in there.

Way to go!

I didn't write it. It's an urban myth.

I don't understand what an urban myth is!

We explained it once already!

You know the story about the Slit-mouth lady?

With the slit mouth?

Very good.

And?

That's an urban myth.

It's just made up.

It isn't!

I can't see the difference between a myth and a lie.

Urban myths are a way to understand people...

They reveal a lat

Like what?

I don't know... like, collective fear.

Anyway, that University Hospital is our one!

No way!

It's a rumour...

- I saw him! - What?

- The pop idol. - Where?

- In the library. - Who?

The pop star studying here.

- He comes to classes? - Sure.

- I want to see him! - I don't.

Is he handsome?

He looks better on TV.

- Isn't the real thing best? - Exactly!

What's this about?

It's nothing.

- It's chaotic now. - The accident?

- You heard? - Eiko told us.

I saw it on the Net. Many people died.

On which line?

The JR.

Oh, my God!

Apparently the driver dozed off.

2 accidents in a row!
