Tokyo Blood

BICYCLE

Hey, how far are you going?

Want a lift home?

Could you kidnap someone?

Who?

Me.

Why?

I don't want to go home.

Why not run away?

I need money.

Then work.

But I'm not old enough.

So you've just met a total stranger...

...and you're trying to get them to kidnap you?

I thought it would be alright if there wasn't any trouble.

Is your family rich?

Not really.

You kidnap me then.

- Your family's rich? - Yeah.

We can split the ransom 50-50.

Fine.

Let's go up on the Metropolitan Government Building or Tokyo Tower.

Why?

To call in the demand.

Don't you think doing it from a high place is best?

I don't.

Then...

...a river! Let's go someplace near a river.

A river?

I want to see a river.

I can't stop panicking.

What do you mean?

Well...

Are you going to have the baby?

- A baby's a lot of trouble, isn't it? - That doesn't mean you should have an abortion.

I wonder if it's really alright...

I just don't know.

I have AIDS.

- You're kidding me! - It's true. I was surprised myself.

So I'll never be able to have the same problem as you.

But you're in good spirits.

There was no point in worrying. I know I'll get sick eventually.

Have you told anyone?

I can't do it.

So I'm the first.

Have you told anyone about your pregnancy?

Not yet.

But we could each tell a random passerby.

That's just the way it is.

I wonder...

Why don't we go to another river?

I just felt like I turned ten years old.

Huh?

You don't have similar feelings?

What?

A feeling of becoming younger or older...

When I wake up, I'm my true age of 22.

But when I'm trying to keep my legs planted on a crowded train

I feel like I'm in my thirties.

And...

When I'm talking to someone younger than me

it feels kind of like I'm a women in my forties.

And...

When I'm acting like a spoiled kid

I become a seventeen year old in my heart.

The trains at night are the worst.

Everyone's tired and on their way home from work, right?

Their influence makes my heart grow older, older, and older.

To what age?

To that of an eighty year old granny.

Since I'm able to feel younger or older,

I'm planning on feeling like a senile old person when I die.

I wonder if the baby in my belly can have feelings like that...

It's the nostalgia of the genes, isn't it?

What are you, an intellectual or something?

This is it.

How old do you feel now?

My real age, 22.

Thanks.

Well...

Hey...

The story about you being sick... Was it true?

That's up to you.

Take care.

HOLE

What do you remember?

Any clues?

No matter how insignificant they might seem.

Hole...

Hole?

Hole?

A...hole.

Hole.

Hole.

A hole.

A hole?

This one?

This hole?

No.

Not that.

This one?

This one?

This?

Do you feel anything when you look at this hole?

Large Hole

No.

This?

This?

This?

This?

This?

This?

This?

This?

This?

This?

This hole, right?
