[bunniefuu]

[gloomy music]

That woman

I k*lled her.

[sighs]

Everyone was forced to play the game.

It wasn't your fault.

What the hell is all this?

Who knows? I know I don't.

But

It amazes me

that I'm willing to do anything

just so that I can survive.

[Usagi] If we didn't want to do that,

we might as well just die.

[suspenseful music]

[music intensifying]

[theme music]

[birds chirping]

My visa ends today.

[sighs]

[marker clicks]

[Shibuki] I worked so hard.

Did everything to get into that company.

I even hooked up with someone I hated.

[exhales deeply]

And I finally got the promotion.

[Shibuki moans]

Saori

I talked to the HR department.

[woman] Cypher Bank Holdings

strongly recommends Saori Shibuki

as the new team leader of AI development.

SPECIAL PROMOTION FOR ASSISTAN

IN THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

I'll survive this game

and return to my original life.

[Chota] Arisu! Karube!

I can't believe it!

[Chota grunts]

I was so worried

when you guys weren't back this morning.

- It's so good to see you!

- [laughs]

Hey, Chota.

[grunts]

Easy.

Are you hurt?

[groans]

I'm okay.

[Chota] Somebody radioed in?

[Karube] Yeah.

[Karube hissing in pain]

Thanks.

[groans]

If we go to that Beach place,

we might be able to find something.

Like where everyone in the city

disappeared to?

Maybe there's an evacuation shelter.

Maybe everybody's there.

The closest beaches to us are

in Shonan, Izu, and Ito, right?

They're so far.

But we can reach them in time.

So, what do we think?

Should we try going?

My vote is

for now, we trust whoever this is.

And how is Chota supposed to go?

[exhales deeply]

That's a good point.

And our visas

they expire today.

Then we'll have to win the game today

and extend your visas.

Sound good?

Then we'll go and look for

the Beach tomorrow.

I'll go to the Beach.

No matter what happens.

I'll do whatever it takes.

We have to believe there's hope.

[exhales deeply]

[calm music]

[Usagi] It amazes me

that I'm willing to do anything

in order to survive.

If only we could choose to die

on our own terms.

Arisu?

What's the matter?

[breathes deeply]

- Nothing.

- [lighter clicks]

[Shibuki] Say something.

[Arisu] "Say something"? Like what?

[Shibuki] Hm, let's see. Heard any gossip?

- [Shibuki puffs]

- I saw someone die right in front of me.

But I survived.

So what should I say?

That you were glad.

Glad it wasn't you.

I didn't think about that, but

Guess I was.

All I thought about was surviving.

Yeah, I get it. I'll tell you something.

On my very first game day,

everyone d*ed except me.

I didn't wanna die like them.

What I wanted

What I wanted was to survive.

[somber music]

[Shibuki exhales]

[Karube grunts]

And found it!

[sighs]

[somber music]

Please be safe and all right.

SHIBUYA STATION

THIS WAY TO THE GAME ARENA

[lights clunk]

[sighs]

He's late.

Yeah, should we just go?

No, we wait for Karube.

If we don't join the game,

we could all die.

[scoffs]

Chota, let's go.

They both have days left on their visa.

[Chota grunts]

[approaching footsteps]

[gasps]

[Arisu] Karube!

[panting]

Sorry.

- I needed to get something.

- What do you mean, "sorry"?

Shibuki and I

For us, there's no tomorrow.

Why, what's going on?

Don't be angry.

We're wasting time. Let's go.

Come on.

Thank you.

[ominous music]

[ominous music continues]

[exhales deeply]

Let's do this.

REGISTRATION IN PROGRESS

CURRENT PARTICIPANTS

[scanner beeping]

[Chota] What is this?

[Arisu] My goggles recognized Chota

and the target cursor turned red.

Yeah, when we look at each other.

It must be a tracking function.

What do they want us to do this time?

[phones chiming]

[announcer] Registration is now closed.

The game will now commence.

Difficulty, Seven of Hearts.

Hearts.

Hearts? Isn't that

[eerie music]

[Nitobe] The suit of the playing cards

usually means

what kind of game it's gonna be.

Clubs is a team battle.

Diamonds is your wits.

And as for Hearts

You play with people's hearts

and you tear them apart.

Seven. Isn't that kinda difficult?

[Shibuki] Hearts are the worst.

[Chota] What do we do?

[phones chiming]

[announcer] Game, "Hide-and-seek".

Rules. One person will be the wolf

and the other three will be the lambs.

A lamb found by the wolf

will become the next wolf

and must hide so that

the wolf does not find them.

Clear condition.

Player who is the wolf at game's end

is the winner.

Time limit, 15 minutes.

When 15 minutes have passed,

the collars fastened to the lambs' necks

will explode.

What?

[Chota] "Explode"?

What does she mean?

Do you know what this means?

Know what?

This means only one player will survive.

What?

We'll play hide-and-seek

Whoever's the wolf

at the end of the game wins.

The other three will be dead.

[shakily]

It's really very simple.

[phones dings]

[announcer] The first wolf is ID number

1000247.

Chota Segawa.

[monitor boings, chimes]

[breathing shakily]

Really?

[announcer] Game time limit.

[beeping]

[announcer] Fifteen minutes, commence.

[timer dings]

[breathing heavily]

Stop it, Chota! If you try to take it off,

the collar might explode!

- I don't care!

- [Arisu] Stop it!

Leave me alone!

[scanner beeps]

[monitor boings, cheering]

Arisu?

[scanner beeps]

[monitor boings, cheering]

[Arisu] When we lock eyes,

the wolf role is passed on.

That's the catch in this game.

If the wolf doesn't survive,

it's because the lambs k*lled it.

What do we do, Arisu?

[scanner beeps]

It's bullshit!

[scanner beeps]

[monitor boings, cheering]

[intense music]

[Chota] Shibuki!

The one that needs to hide

in this game is the wolf!

- Are we going to die?

- [Karube] You will if you do nothing.

But I'll be fine.

Shibuki!

[both] Karube!

[Karube yelling]

[panting]

Stop running!

- [panting]

[Karube] Shibuki!

[Chota] Stop running.

Let's think of a way out of this together.

[Shibuki whimpering]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- [screams]

- [thuds]

[sobs, pants]

There's no point apologizing now, huh?

Huh?

- Turn around!

Arisu!

Both of you, enough! Stop it!

If we work together,

we might be able to figure this out!

You're so naive, this is a Hearts game!

[grunts]

- [grunts]

- [groans in pain]

[Chota] What's happening to us?

[groans]

[Chota] You're turning against each other!

[sobs]

[Karube growls]

[Karube] Arisu!

[shakingly]

O Holy Mother

Please forgive us

- for our mortal sins.

- [Karube] Arisu!

Our smiles are the light of hope.

And you, Holy Mother, appear to us

when we smile.

[Karube grunts]

O Holy Mother

- Please forgive us

- [Karube] Arisu!

for our mortal sins

Our smiles are the light of hope.

And you, Holy Mother, appear to us

when we smile.

[Chota sobbing]

[Chota] O Holy Mother

Our smiles are the light of hope.

The Holy Mother will appear when we smile.

[tense music]

[grunts]

[Shibuki] Do you want to live or die?

All I need is some time!

I'll think of a way

to get out of this game!

[Shibuki] You'll think of a way out, huh?

You just want to be the only survivor.

It doesn't matter to you if you're dead.

Make me the wolf.

Your life is sh*t anyway!

[panting]

Where's the justice when someone

who has the desire to live dies?

[Karube] Arisu.

We can't all survive in this game!

[breathing heavily]

- Let me go!

I took care of you!

You don't know

what your friends really are!

[Shibuki] Let me go!

Let me go!

[Karube] Arisu!

Where are you, Arisu? Come out!

[growls]

[Arisu] Come on, damn it.

[Karube] You're just gonna hide

until time runs out?

[Arisu] Ugh, sh*t!

[Karube panting]

[Karube] Come on, Arisu.

- You were playing us all.

- [Arisu grunts]

[Karube] And you said

it'll work out if we cooperate.

From the very start of this,

you wanted to be the only survivor!

I'm sorry!

[Karube] Ha!

What's the use of saying sorry?

Arisu!

[grunts]

In the end, that's

all you ever do.

[groans]

[Karube] Ever since

you dropped out of school

[Karube grunts]

[Karube] All you do is say sorry!

- [Karube] Arisu!

- I'm sorry.

[sobbing]

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry.

[Kenji] Congratulations

on your acceptance, Hajime.

You really accomplished something.

I know your mother would be happy too.

And this is just the beginning.

I'll see it through.

I don't want to end up like Ryohei.

I can't teach Ryohei anything,

but you're different.

Inside you, there's ambition.

You're very different from your brother.

Ryohei, why don't you come over

and join us?

[whirring on phone]

[Karube panting]

If you're happy being a loser

[Karube pants]

You know, you really are very kind.

[laughs]

[somber music continues]

[sniffles]

[Kenji] I don't expect anything from you

and you never fail to disappoint me

in that regard.

So, did you

[Chota, Arisu, Karube laughing]

This noodle is so good!

You look like you can't eat noodles

[all laughing, cheering]

[Arisu] Come on, Karube, faster!

[soft chorale music]

[sobbing]

[Karube] Guys.

I got this dream.

I wanna buy a huge farm in Australia.

Then I'll invite you guys over,

and we'll drink beer in the morning.

[laughs]

[Chota] That sounds nice!

And I'll deliver

triple grade-A steaks to you

with my drone delivery service.

My drones will be fully automated,

I'll develop an app for them!

[laughs]

[Karube] All right then.

Cheers to our future.

[Chota] Cheers!

you hear?

That fricking hot day

when we made noodles with shaved ice?

Karube, where are you?

Karube!

[somber music]

We laughed a lot that day, didn't we?

[laughs]

Chota?

Chota laughed so hard

that noodles came out from his nose.
