Kaya-chan Isn't Scary (カヤちゃんはコワくない)

Again! Again!

Aw, but Daddy's tired.

Um, just one more time.

Okay, one more time.

Up you go!

Okay, that's enough now.

We have something important to tell you, Kaya.

What is it?

Kaya, you're going to be a big sister soon.

Big sister?

There's a little baby inside Mommy's tummy.

The baby's still very small, so let's take good care of it together. Okay?

Will it make you happy if we're nice to the baby, Mommy?

Yup. Very happy.

Kaya.

Mean? Selfish? Or just different?

There are children who are seen that way by others.

But what if that child could see something you couldn't?

This is the story of Kaya-chan, a girl who could see ghosts.

Episode 7: Hospitals Aren't Scary

There's a possibility of threatened preterm labor.

Given your previous delivery was an emergency C-section,

I think it'd be best if you stayed in the hospital for today,

so we can closely monitor your condition and the baby's.

I have to stay in?

Let's do what the doctor recommends.

Don't worry about things at home. Right, Kaya?

Huh?

Yeah.

I was too anxious to sleep when I was pregnant with Kaya.

Doctor, please do everything you can to make sure this baby is born healthy.

Of course. We'll get through this together.

Kids' Room

Wow. Very good, Kaya-chan.

Thank you for looking after her.

Daddy's going to get Mommy's clothes and some other things she needs,

so you stay here and be a good girl. Okay, Kaya?

Okay.

She's in good hands.

Bye, Daddy.

What's the matter, Kaya-chan?

Bathroom.

Want me to go with you?

I can go by myself.

No!

My baby! My baby! My baby!

Wh-Wh-Wh-Where's my baby?! My baby!

Where did my baby go?!

Not this one! Not this one! Not this one! Not this one!

Help!

Please, someone!

My baby!

Bring me my baby!

Man, not again. What should we do? Should we check up on her?

There's nothing we can do.

Things would've been different if only her baby had been born healthy.

I really do feel sorry for her.

No! No! No! None of these are mine!

My baby doesn't look like this!

Go away! My baby... My baby is...

Where'd my baby go? My baby...

The ghosts are all gone now.

Th-Thank you.

Is there a baby inside your tummy, too?

Y-Yes, there is.

Of course there is.

I'm certain I have a baby!

In Surgery

She's hemorrhaging!

Ready the transfusion!

Heart rate dropping!

Run it wide open and start vasopressors!

Where's my baby? Where'd my baby go?

My baby!

Where are you?

There...

There you are.

I'll take the baby.

Oh god. There's no pulse.

Start ventilation. Begin chest compressions.

That's right. My baby was too small to even cry.

Before I could really see my baby's face, I...

Thank goodness. I finally found you.

Thank goodness.

Oh? What are you doing here?

You shouldn't go into rooms by yourself.

I'm sorry.

You're from the daycare, aren't you? Let's go back there.

Okay.

Bye-bye... Huh?

What's the matter?

Where's the baby with its mommy?

What?

Don't try to scare me like that.

There's no one...

...staying in this room.

Thanks for looking after her.

Have a good evening.

Yes. She had to be hospitalized.

Right.

Yup.

Regarding my daughter, I was thinking of talking to her teacher tomorrow.

Okay. Thanks for your help.

We don't know how long it'll be before she's stabilized.

So yeah, Mom, could I ask you to...

I know it's really out of the blue.

What about tomorrow?

She's not even in elementary school yet. I can't leave her home alone.

Okay.

I sincerely apologize for showing up so suddenly that day. I hope Kaya-chan and Mirai are both doing well. Please feel free to contact me if there's anything you need.

Never mind. I'll handle it.

Playground Equipment Isn't Scary

Mori-no-Oka Park

Everyone, don't hurt yourselves.

Follow all the rules when playing on the playground equipment.

Listen to your teachers!

Kaya-chan, let's go on the jungle gym! The spinning one!

Yeah.

Wha?!

The spinning jungle gym is gone!

Why isn't it here, Sensei?!

Oh, you're right.

They remove stuff as soon as anything happens these days.

It's sad how things keep getting removed and nothing new gets added.

Oh well. Let's play somewhere else.

The slide at the park is my favorite!

Let's go on it together, Kaya-chan.

Okay.

Vroom, vroom! Move over!

Hey, Ken-ken! No cutting!

Hey! It says you can't do that!

Let's follow the rules and play nicely

Let's wait our turn

Sit down before sliding

Don't climb from the opposite side

Do not jump off

Let's follow the rules and play nicely

See? It says, "Let's follow the rules and play nicely."

Hmph. I'm telling Teach—

Saku-chan?

What's wrong?

Saku-chan, are you okay?

Huh? Why do you ask?

I'm just looking at the sign.

Oh, hey, Kaya-chan.

Huh?

I have a great idea!

That slide's way more fun if you go down headfirst!

No!

Look. It says it right here.

Sit down before sliding

See? "Sit down before sliding."

Seeing that just makes me wanna do it even more.

Ah, Saku-chan!

This looks fun!

Watch me do it, Kaya-chan!

Saku-chan!

Let's do it our way. Sliding the normal way is boring.

I know, right?

Wouldn't climbing up from down here be awesome?

That'd be so cool.

That sounds super fun!

I'm gonna do it!

Do it! Do it!

Saku-chan, no!

Huh? What's up, Kaya-chan?

Stop!

You'll crash into him!
