Have you seen my dog?

Miss?

Leo! Let's go. Come on!

Leo!

Wait!

To the house. This way. Let's go.

Hello, Miss. Finished your picture?

Not yet.

I want to get it finished over this holiday.

It's busy, being a school teacher.

By the way, Kyusaku, can you fix my door?

- The lock's broken again. - Of course.

Leo!

Leo!

Miss! Are you all right?

I'm fine. Thanks.

But that's very unusual, Leo disobeying you.

Leo!

What's the matter?

NISHIHARA TRANSPORT

- What's this? - Dunno.

You don't know?

- Who sent it? - Dunno.

I was just told to deliver it here.

Hey, Stop joking around!

Damn, it's heavy!

I'll come up to your house later, Miss. After supper, eh?

Thank you.

Leo, come on.

Who could've sent this?

Damn, what a sick joke! That driver!

Wow, what is this?

That's a difficult question! Even I can't answer that.

I can't get it out of my head, that eye.

It's that dream of yours!

You know, the horrible one you had when you were five.

Maybe.

I don't remember it exactly.

- Your boyfriend won't be happy with you. - Why?

He told you to forget it or it'll become an obsession.

I want to forget about it. It was just a stupid dream.

But I can't forget that eye. I don't know why.

That's why I painted it. I thought I'd find something...

- And did you? - No.

But something strange did happen.

Something strange?

Leo ran off all of a sudden.

Just like in the dream.

He ran off. Off into the distance.

In my dream, the other Leo was very small.

He ignored me and ran off.

And then...

No... I can't remember.

That'll be Saeki.

Don't let the dream bother you, or I'll steal him from you.

- Hi. - Welcome.

Wait a second, I saw the name.

It said from Dracula via Nishihara Transport.

I've never heard of Nishihara Transport.

But it must be yours...

Damn it! They must think I'm an idiot.

The driver was just in a bad mood.

Yes, yes. I understand.

But it's natural for me to worry about it.

Well, you're fine now.

Actually, cases like yours are quite common.

You experienced terror in your childhood.

There is no reasonable explanation for it.

That's why you create illusions of hypothetical enemies.

Illusions of hypothetical enemies?

I plan to write about the theme of women's latent terror.

Natsuko!

- You're responsible, Saeki. - Me?

Why don't you marry her right now and make her happy?

Then she'll forget all about the dream.

You've got me there!

Anyway, I'll leave you be. Enjoy yourselves.

Natsuko!

Maybe she's in love with you.

You've got a funny sense of humor.

I must be going.

Oh, is that the time already?

That's funny...

Kyusaku hasn't come.

- Shall I come in with you? - I'll be fine. Kyusaku'll take me home.

He can fight the bears off!

- Bye. - Goodnight.

Night.

Good evening!

Kyusaku?

Kyusaku? Are you home?

Is Kyusaku in?

You look great.

Thanks, Natsuko. I'm glad I came to town.

You looked awful last night, like you'd seen a ghost.

Yes, but...

You saw a stranger at Kyusaku's, who didn't answer you, right?

So what?

Maybe you're right. He could be a friend of the owner.

He must've been surprised to see you breaking in.

But it wasn't very nice of Kyusaku not to show up.

That... that sound.

What's wrong, sis?

- Nothing. - That's good.

It's almost dinner time. Let's eat out, shall we?

Hey.

Saeki here.

- Oh, it's you? - I'm in town.

Yes. With Natsuko.

- How about dinner somewhere? - Good idea. Let's have steak.

Dr. Saeki, a new patient.

Hello? I'm sorry, a new patient's just came in.

I'll drop by later.

Accident or illness?

- I can't tell. - You can't tell?

She was found on the road.

She had no visible injuries,

but she was unconscious and close to death.

She's lost a lot of blood.

Give her a blood transfusion.

Nurse, where was she found?

By Lake Fujimi.

Lake Fujimi?

Leo, we've bought you some snacks!

That's strange.

Leg?

- He's been stolen. - No!

- Who'd steal him? - He wouldn't run away.

Anyway, I'll go and look for him.

Leo!

Leo!

Leo!

Leo!

Kyusaku, it's Leo...

You didn't...?

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

- You are in! - Can you lend us a boat?

Hey!

- A dog bite? - The wound would be bigger.

What on earth was it?

- We know who she is? - Yes.

She lost her memory,

but she's a local farmer's daughter. She ran away from home last night.

- Ran away? - Yes.

Some people saw her hitchhiking near Lake Fujimi.

Best wait till her memory's back.

Then we'll find out how she lost so much blood.

Have another. It'll warm you up.

Thank you, I'm fine for now.

I searched the house, but there's nobody in.

Were you really attacked?

- Are you feeling all right? - Yes. My house isn't far.

I don't understand what's going on.

Isn't she a bit crazy?

Let's go somewhere else.

Leg?

Natsuko!

Where are you?

Natsuko?

Erm... Mr. Saeki, please. This is Miss Kashiwagi.

Please, come here right now. It's awful.

What's the matter? What happened?

I can't explain. Please, just come!

- Natsuko is involved too. - Natsuko?

She's missing. Maybe she's been kidnapped.

In fact, I...

Natsuko!

You're acting weird! What surprised you?

Hello? This is Natsuko. Sorry to have startled you.

I just went for a walk around the lake.

And Akiko's mad because you couldn't make it for dinner!

That's not true!

She's impossible.

I've got a dying patient. I have to stay here tonight.

I'll see her tomorrow. Okay. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

You look petrified. What's the matter?

I'm sorry. I'm so afraid, I even suspect you.

But, Leo is...

- He's dead. - Eh? But...

And... Kyusaku tried to rape me.
