Nightmare Detective 2 (悪夢探偵2)

Do you want some more crumble?

Drink some tea!

Drink!

It's OK!

It's OK! Calm down!

What is it? Be quiet! Calm down!

Everything is OK! Be calm.

I am afraid...

so afraid... - Calm down!

Calm down!

Come, rest a little bit! Come! - No!

- Lie down! - No! - Lie down! Calm down.

No!

I'm back, mummy! Mummy!

Mummy?

Mummy!

Mummy!

Mummy! Mummy!

Mummy!

Mummy!

The same dream again... what is this shit?

Where is mummy now? Is she really dead?

Maybe she's still alive. Maybe she'll come tonight.

Stop talking nonsense and eat up!

But you see them, too... - See what?

Those children that died 10 years ago, in that bus accident...

What are you talking about? - They don't understand that they are actually dead.

They still believe that they are on their school excursion...

Stop this nonsense! That's why you pee in the bed.

When will I, finally, be able to put the pot away?

Didn't you see them?

Not a word about it! Forget it! Do you understand?

And if somebody asks you about it, don't answer them.

I will be good!

I was never evil!

Every day, I will try my best to do nothing bad.

Please don't hurt me! Leave me alone!

No! Help me, please! Help me, Nightmare Detective!

Again with this shit...

I'm cursed!

Is it the morning or the afternoon?

Who the hell are you?

What do you mean by just walking in here? - Are you not Kyoichi Kagenuma?

The one who can get into other people's dreams and release them from their nightmares?

Please help me! Come into my dreams! I beg you! You must save me!

Leave me alone! - Please, help me!

Get out of here, I said!

Damn! Who'll save me, anyway?!

How I hate this!

Father.

Recently, I'm always dreaming of mother.

Boy, where's that phone that I gave you?

She always appears screaming in my dreams. She is afraid.

What's with the phone?!

How should I know whether you're alive or dead, if you don't answer your phone?!

Father!

Why was she so awfully scared of me?

Why?

She was afraid of what she might do to you.

She was not only afraid of you.

She was afraid of everybody in this world.

And because she was this way, she used violence against other people.

And in the end it lead to her own death.

I am afraid!

Of what?

There!

There! I feel such fear! - But there's nothing there!

What are you afraid of? Let's go on. - I am afraid.

Do you see? - The bird. - There! - Go on!

Mummy. - Afraid.

Mummy.

I am afraid.

Mummy.

Mummy.

I am afraid.

Mummy. Mummy.

Afraid.

Mummy. - Afraid. - Mummy.

Afraid. - Mummy. - Afraid.

Mr. Kagenuma! Help me!

You're annoying me! - Mr. Kagenuma!

What are you making there? Come down! But fast! - Help me!

Help me, please! - Get lost - you're a nuisance!

I've seen the devil! I haven't slept for days.

- No, shut up! - Please, I can't sleep!

- Stay here! - Help me!

Kyoichi! - Kyoichi!

If you are better, go away.

Yuko Kikukawa, a girl from my class,

always comes to me in my dreams. - Stop this.

I have no desire to hear... - Every night I dream of her.

Kikukawa pursues me.

This way! Don't worry, Kikukawa. The rabbit is not far away.

Nothing has happened to him. We'll stay with you until we have found it.

We had realised that Kikukawa was very anxious.

My friends wanted to make her scared, just for fun!

I took part. And in the end we could no longer stop it.

Can you see it, Kikukawa? Is the rabbit there?

Well, Kikukawa? Can you see it?

She's so quiet. She's probably already found it.

That's enough, right?

Come on... we'll let her out.

Inside, it was deadly quiet. Then we opened the door...

Yuko?

Kikukawa - we're sorry.

Kikukawa? Where are you?

She must be here somewhere.

Where are you, Yuko?

Kikukawa? - Have you hidden?

Kikukawa? What's with you?

Here she is.

What's up with you?

I'm afraid. Such fear.

Fear. Such fear.

When I saw her, her expression - it was...

She had already had problems before, but we didn't know about it.

In the summer camp we told horror stories -

she was so afraid that she'd hide in the kitchen.

And one time at the cinema, during a quite normal scene,

she started to tremble...

and tried to stab somebody with a pencil.

I know that I did something awful to her.

And since then I have dreamed about her almost every night.

I'm so afraid of these awful dreams,

that I'm too scared to fall asleep.

I'm afraid!

I'm afraid!

Fear!

I beg you! Help me to get rid of them.

So that she disappears from my dreams!

There is only one way to get rid of the nightmare.

If you are really sorry, then you must go to her...

and then sincerely ask her for forgiveness.

It's as easy as that.

Please, come along with me! Here's my number.

Kikukawa's address is also on there.

You're kidding me! - I beg you! - What's this good for?!

I have no time for these childish little games. - No, please!

I'm sorry. Now you must go. - Help me!

Now clear out, once and for all! - Why won't you help me?

Don't call me a 'murderer'.

What? - Shoo! Go!

I only thought that word. How did you know?

Whatever! Just go, go! - How do you know my thoughts?

If I shouldn't read your thoughts, then simply stay away from me!

Hello! - Good morning.

Oh. Before you go to school I must give you this. - What is it?

I already told you that I must leave for three days on a business trip.

Here's the housekeeping money.

Do you have a moment? - We can talk as soon as I get back.

I'm up to my ears with work. This must be finished before I go.

And don't spend the money on some trinket, do you hear?

So, have a good trip! - Yes, thank you.

You yourself said this...? - He's asked you...? - Yes.

If one is not sure, one should shut up! - Clearly!

Blunders lurk everywhere! - Yes.

Good morning! You don't look like you've slept?

No. Nor the night before.

They're only dreams. Why are you so frightened by them?

Did you meet that 'Kagenuma'?

Yes, I did, like you told me to.

It achieved nothing; he wouldn't listen to me.

Strange... My father said he is able to get rid of other people's nightmares.

Whatever gave you that idea? Your dad is a policeman.

And he told you such nonsense? - He did.

Besides the usual routine police work,

they also sometimes make use of 'unscientific' methods.

This guy recently penetrated into the dreams of a culprit,

and was able to solve the case.

Your dad must have been playing a joke on you. - How come?

He must have been drunk to tell you this shit!

Am I right? - Yes, he was a little drunk...

but he still knew his address.

Akiko. Mutsumi. What if we went together to see her?

To see Kikukawa. To apologise.

She didn't come to school. Why do we need to apologise? - We'll go to her.

Why? |s this really urgent? Do we have to?!

I think so. Firstly, Kikukawa is not coming to school.

We are to blame for this.

And secondly, she probably will come back some time. And what then?

So what? What then?

It could be that she'll tell the teacher.

That would be dumb.

If a bad entry appears on our reports...

Exactly. We should apologise to her.

Yukie! You are over-sensitive.

If you want to apologise, you can do so in your dream.

I've already put it behind me.

Was Kikukawa also in your dreams? - Yes.

And I said to her: “I'm sorry...

While searching through the box, I found a letter.

It should have been sent long ago.

And now comes an old word for 'September'.

Here it says: "After the end of summer, after he had left..."

Who is meant by "he"? Who has left?

Here, "he"means the husband of the author.

This work is the diary written by Kagero. So it has to do...

...with his personal life, to be clear.

Next the sentence: "It should have been sent long ago."

In this case, it means "sent to another woman",
