02x03 - Obake yashiki ni wa obakeinai

[bunniefuu]

{OP}

Midnight alight sees ego, desire, regrets come and go

Vision blurred by rain I see your wet silhouette in a neon glow

Please don't wake until the morning, time will flow

Woo yeah, yeah, yeah

With a resigned face I say goodnight

Thought I'd caught up, but it's a mirage

Lemme feel you like I did in those days

Thrown away any dignity I had for show

I f*cked up in so many ways, yeah

Night doesn't go by slow

A lighter in the dark but the gas is low

Status quo

Hold up a sec, huh

I got a family, I got a life

Won't be torn away

Before I could even start lying she had me straddled

La di la di la la

Today she's humming a tune while unlocking my suite

Walks to her own beat

It started years ago but now we're on repeat

Gotta choose, a place in the sun or embrace darkness so sweet

Write more

Sing more

Demands then laughs

We melt into tomorrow just as you planned

Not that I care, as you see

Can't stop ya, ha ha ha

With a resigned face I say goodnight

Thought I'd caught up, but it's a mirage

Lemme feel you like I did in those days

Thrown away any dignity I had for show

I f*cked up in so many ways, yeah

Night doesn't go by slow

A lighter in the dark but the gas is low

Status quo

{Part A}

Well, that was fun!

The staff caught me loitering by the front desk, so they almost called the cops on me.

Is this weird lady the one who...

Oh, yeah.

The vampire-slaying private eye.

Thought so.

Are you here to k*ll us?

More or less.

But I'm not here for you this time, Suzushiro Hatsuka.

First, I'm going to terminate Aki.

Then I need to talk to Seki Mahiru.

You heard the lady.

Aki, what's your move?

She seems like trouble.

Run, Aki.

She can k*ll—

H-Huh?

Why?

Wait, those are mine.

Yes. These are your old glasses.

Allow me to return them.

Yes, this is the object.

Take that! The knife's going in!

Does it hurt?!

S-Stop!

Hey, not so close!

That's dangerous.

It's not my policy to k*ll humans.

Now, Aki,

I'm sure you're in a lot of pain, but you can still talk.

You're not very easy to k*ll.

So, what's the name of the vampire who turned you?

Spill it.

Hey, sleuth.

Not too bright going up against three vamps at once.

The knife just passed through him!

I didn't know vampires could do that.

Why are you hounding us?

This is a real drag.

Could you knock it off?

Your existence is a drag.

Seri.

Take off Aki's glasses.

That should help him recover.

Okay.

Aki.

Aki!

So you know about it.

Not really.

Had my suspicions, though.

Thanks to you, now I'm sure.

A personal object from our human past is a potential weakness.

The stronger the emotional connection to an object, the more deadly it becomes.

So that's how!

Sticking your nose into people's personal past lives is a bad hobby.

It's my job.

We'll be going now.

Komori Baths

You're letting me live?

We don't enjoy k*lling people.

Unlike you.

But if you pull this sh*t again, you're dead!

Too bad, but I concede defeat.

What a freak.

I wasn't her target tonight.

But next time...

Yamori.

How's Nanakusa Nazuna?

Oh, and Seki Mahiru, I have something I want to ask you.

Has Hoshimi Kiku...

No, never mind.

Let's get out of here, Mahiru.

Hoshimi Kiku...

I'll be the cause of your death.

My wounds have healed.

Um, Yamori, thanks for your blood.

But Nazuna might not like other vampires feeding on you, you know.

It's the least I can do for him.

If I explain, she'll understand.

I don't see why she'd have a problem with—

You let somebody else drink from you?

I apologize.

Sorry, Kou.

I could've given him my blood.

It's no big deal.

Yes, it is!

Come on, guys.

Plus, vampires have a time limit.

A time limit?

After a vampire feeds on you, you have one year to turn or you can never become one.

I... I see.

Hey, Yamori.

Once again, I owe you.

Thanks.

It's okay.

No, it's not!

Guys...

We can listen to Nazuna gripe later.

Right now, we need to put our heads together.

Nazuna, how much do you remember from your human days?

Wh-What do you mean?

Try to keep up, Yamori.

You must've noticed that we don't like to talk about our human days.

Now I understand why.

On an instinctive level, we know...

not to reveal our greatest weakness.

Plus, we forget.

You forget?

Little by little, we vamps lose our memories of our mortal past.

Niko said becoming a vampire is like being reborn.

So this detective is researching our pasts to find weapons to use against us.

Or she already has hold of them.

We have to minimize our liabilities.

Well, Nazuna?

What do you remember?

Sorry if it's too painful for you to recall.

It's not that.

Huh?

Do the rest of you remember at least a little?

Huh?

Yeah, I remember a lot.

Me too.

The thing is...

I can't remember the tiniest bit from before I was a vampire.

Sorry to intrude.

Meh.

I'm feeling a lot better.

Bye, Kou.

You're Aki, right?

Er, yes.

You drank Kou's blood, didn't you? Don't waste it by dying!

Got it.

By the way, Seri. Do you have those glasses?

Was it tasty?

Sure was.

Just how tasty?

U-Um, I don't know how to answer that...

I'll destroy them.

Good.

Bye, Nanakusa.

Nazuna!

Kou!

Go ahead.

N-No, you first.

You first.

Didn't you have to fall in love with someone—

Nope, nope, nopety nope! Not gonna go there!

Why not?

I've got nothing to tell you.

Because you don't remember?

Yeah.

It's more like I have no recollection whatsoever.

Still, since I'm undead now, it must've happened.

I guess so.

I've been wanting to ask her that for ages, but I never actually did.

Even if I were to ask, my timing could've been better.

But the fact is, Nazuna must've fallen in love at least once.

Why can't she remember the vampire she was in love with?

Wassup?

Let's find it.

Your weakness and your past. We'll figure it out.

I don't want you to get k*lled.

You wore these the night we met.

You were drunk and tripped.

I picked them up for you.

Yeah.

Thanks.

I'm new to being a vampire, so I still remember everything from my past.

But I guess I'll forget it all one day.

Even the day we met.

And the day I realized I was in love with you.

I'll remember.

So don't worry.

I won't forget.

Besides,

we can make new memories together.

So please,

don't cry, Aki.

Let's have some fun!

What would you like to do tonight?

Anything!

Everything that's fun.

{Part B}

rd Night: No Ghosts in Haunted Houses

Let's recap.

We need to find our human possessions and destroy them.

Don't search on your own. From here on out, we travel in pairs.

Yes.

Got it.

Oh, and don't even think about tangling with that private eye.

We don't know how much she knows.

But it's not very fun to know that she has us by the throat.

We have to get info on her.

Hey, where's Kabura?

She said she was working.

That's Kabura for you.

What's her job?

Um...

Nazuna, can't you remember anything?

Not even an inkling.

You really don't remember a single thing?

For your own safety, we need to dig up some info about you.

Sorry, it's just a blank.

Think about it, Kou.

Can you remember stuff from years ago?

No, because I'm .

Okay, sure, but imagine you're .

Is there a point to this?

If you asked senior citizen Kou about something that happened years ago...

"Where are my prunes?"

He wouldn't have a clue.

You gave me dementia!

Nazuna, do you have dementia?

So that's why I've been so forgetful lately...

No, of course not!

This joke's gone too far.

You're young, so nothing's super long ago, right?

Yeah.

Vampires live a long time, so naturally we forget stuff.

Huh?

Wait, how many years have you been around?

How old are you?

Uh... y'know, my memory...

You remember your vampire life, don't you?

I don't remember the early days.

It's like I wasn't fully conscious yet.

Just based on what you remember.

If you had to guess.

D-Didn't anyone tell you it's rude to ask a woman her age?!

We've got to talk about this.

I didn't know it was a sore spot.

Well, yeah.

Maybe you're, like, years old.

I think it's in the to range...

What is?

My age.

Huh? The to range?

You're in your s?

How should I put it...

That's not all that old.

Dammit! I knew you'd react like that!

You'd think it was cool if I was, like, a century old!

But I'm just a middle-aged lady!

Nazuna, women in their s aren't that old...

You're just making it worse!

I thought you'd get grossed out if you knew my age.

Falling in love with somebody your mom's age isn't easy.

She just used the word "love."

Nazuna...

She's worried about my feelings.

We haven't found any clues here.

Nope.

What were you doing years ago?

What was I doing?

You've been a vampire that long, right?

What's your oldest memory?

This room.

I woke up on a bed.

What?

That's it. I don't know why or how.

So I just went on living here.

I see.

A wallet?

Nazuna, I think I've got something.

Third Komori Hospital

A hospital appointment card.

Dated about years ago.

Kou...

Yeah.

Third Komori Hospital

Was I sick?

Have I been here before?

You don't recognize it?

Not at all.

Let's go inside.

Nothing creepier than a hospital at night.

Right, Nazuna?

Nazuna?

I sense something.

Don't tell me...

Kou.

This is bad.

This place...

definitely has ghosts.

Hey!

Let's take a look around.

No, this is serious! I'm sorta psychic, you know!

Psychic? You can see ghosts?

I've totally seen a ghost before!

Oh yeah? What was it like?

Well... there was this lady floating in the air outside my window.

But I live on the fourth floor!

You float too.

You don't believe me?!

What's there to believe in this case?

You got mad when I didn't invite you on that ghostbusting trip to my school.

I mean, that's like a fun adventure.

This is legit horror!

There are no ghosts in haunted houses.

You listening?

Did you hear something?

Huh?

C-C'mon, stop pulling my leg.

You're obviously just...

Let's go home, Kou!

There's nothing here!

We can't do that.

Anyway, humans are scarier than ghosts and vampires.

We're breaking and entering.

If someone sees us, grab me and fly.

We need to learn about your past.

That sound came from upstairs. Let's check it out!

What?! No!

You're so noisy.

Hang on.

Kabura?

What are you two doing here?

K-Kabura? How come you're dressed up as a nurse?

Why else? For work.

Huh? Work?

Is this a house of ill repute?!

Knock it off, Nazuna.

So you work here? Doing what?

It's not a house of ill repute?

Excuse me? I'm actually registered as a nurse here.

Wh-What? I can't believe what I'm seeing.

The ice queen has a side hustle helping people?

How rude.

Is that what you think of me?

What do you want, Nazuna?

You're b—it's, uh, been a while.

How are you?

I've got a lot going on, actually.

I was cleaning up my apartment and found this.

Know what it is?

Well?

I don't know. There's no name on it.

Why do you assume it's yours?

I see.

Why would she have somebody else's medical appointment reminder?

There has to be a connection.

Who knows? Maybe it fell out of the wallet of one of her victims.

Now go home before I call the cops.

I'm busy.

There's that ice queen attitude.

What are you hiding?

No way is this just a coincidence.

A -year-old card fell out of someone's wallet?

From a hospital where a vampire we know works?

There has to be a connection.

R-Right.

I mean, think about it!

We're trying to learn about Nazuna's past. She doesn't have any memories of it.

Could you please just tell us what you know?

At least let us poke around the hospital.

On one condition.

{ED}

Sleep now, until you can seize the night yourself

Sleep now, until the night has torn that sleep from you

When it does, let's play

Dance until morning comes

But until that happens keep your sleep to yourself

Ah, 'fore I realize it's , light's gone dark

Hey, guess the day's already done

Oi, who's spouting that crap?

We ain't done playing even if you have to be carried to bed

Hey, had an epiphany, no wonder the adults have been rushing me

You're laying upside down like in Mama's arms, yeah

Then you remember and lash out at my head

Start to stand, get wobbly, crying as you fall

Collapsed in a heap like how I spend my mornings, yeah

Sleep now, until you can seize the night yourself

Sleep now, until the night has torn that sleep from you

When it does, let's play

Dance until morning comes

But until that happens keep your sleep to yourself

Just a lil more

Just a song more

Just one more, yeah

Just a lil more

Just a song more

Just one more

Until we get each other
