02x04 - Hashireru yô ni naritai kai?

[bunniefuu]

Whoa!

What kind of condition is this?

Real uniforms! Not cosplay!

You wear nurse cosplay?

If you must wander around, try to blend in.

And be quiet.

Wait.

Aren't you going to help us?

I'm just going along with what you said.

One more thing.

There's a disused room at the end of the third floor—room .

Respect the "do not enter" sign.

I've never been in there myself.

I've heard the patients whisper...

that they've seen a ghost drifting by that room.

Keep Out

Do Not Enter

What'd I tell you?! A mother-lovin' ghost!

Nazuna, shh! Keep it down.

She said to stay out!

It's fine if we don't go in.

Smart aleck.

Kabura's gotta be hiding something.

She doesn't want to talk about it, but she isn't trying to stop us.

Maybe she wants us to figure something out.

{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}

Kabura.

I thought Kabura was gonna demand to drink your blood or something.

She loves stealing potential offspring, so she'd go after you too.

H-Has she no shame?!

I was totally ready to tell her, like, "Hands off my dude! I'm not into cuckolding!" and kick her a*s.

Is that really a common thing?

Yeah, it's pretty popular these days.

In that case, it's crucial to know if the husband is aware or not.

It's not about which is better, but I want the concept laid out early.

Don't wanna be disappointed there.

This is getting way too specific!

You obviously love cuckolding!

I-I just like dreaming up smutty scenarios.

Don't mix up fantasy and reality!

For real?

So you want love to be true in real life?

S-Sorry.

Yeah.

You're b—it's, uh, been a while.

You're... what?

Maybe there's something behind that forbidden door.

Forget it! That room's got bad mojo!

Doesn't it seem strange?

It's to keep everyone safe from the ghosts, duh!
Komori Third Hospital ghost rumors



"Ghost... rumors."

Whoa, some links really came up.

Let's see...

"I saw a nurse standing in front of the room that's off-limits.

She passed through the doors like magic."

Scary.

Huh?

That's gotta be the ghost.

Think for a minute.

It's obviously Kabura.

Huh?

Keep Out

Do Not Enter

Behind those doors is some secret from your past.

We have to get in there.

If we wanna go in without having Kabura notice, I think it'd be easy.

We promised her we wouldn't.

We have to ask permission!

What a time to grow a conscience.

"No. Ask me again, and I'll k*ll you."

That's what Kabura would say.

You've got her voice down, all right...

She's always been like that. Total ice queen.

"Always been like that"?

Huh?

Like, for how long?

What?

S-Sorry, it's just a figure of speech.

I can't remember at all.

Always been?

Figure of speech?

In Nazuna's mind, is Kabura somehow different from the other vampires?

Yamori, was it?

I hear you've been friendly with Nazuna.

Maybe she's worried about Nazuna.

But is she worried as a fellow vampire?

Or personally?

Um, Nazuna? I need to go to the restroom.

So go.

Right. Um, so I have to go there...

Yeah, let's go.

I'm saying I wanna pee, so can you get off my back?!

You can pee like this.

Got you!

Hurry up!

Are you draining a lake in there?!

H-He's been spirited away.

Wh-What now?

I-I'm scared.

Um...

What's this all about,

Kabura?

I can't help wanting whatever belongs to others.

I'll make you mine, Yamori.

No, you won't.

Nazuna's gonna be the one who turns me.

Right.

How is Nazuna? Doing well?

That girl never talks about herself.

Who knows what she's thinking?

A mother...

K-Kabura.

I-It's way scary!

Seriously, Kou, where are you?

It's a ghost!

Thank goodness.

Huh?

Crap! It's the forbidden room!

I can't stop?!

What's this?

Nothing unusual here except the dust, though.

Is it because the ghosts won't let them clean?

Kabura,

I apologize if I'm way off base,

but are you the one who turned Nazuna?

{Part B}

th Night: Do You Want to Be Able to Run?

You're completely wrong.

I am?!

Yamori,

I appreciate the dramatic entrance, but you are completely off base.

I wasn't trying to be dramatic...

Whatever gave you that idea?

Nazuna falling in love with me—

Like that would ever happen.

Hey, Kabura.

Huh?

What's that?

Explain that photo.

Any way you look at it, it's me and Kabura.

I was a nurse here, and you were my patient.

You were close, Kou, but you got it backward.

I'm the one who turned her!

You're completely wrong.

What?

How would that even work? You know I've been a vamp longer than you.

You're both so smug, but you're talking out of your butts.

Gimme a break.

Anyway, Nazuna, isn't this from that room?

You broke our promise.

W-Wait a sec! It was an accident!

This is going nowhere.

Start with an apology.

I'm sorry.

Good.

Whoa!

Well, it's fine.

I just didn't want to talk about it.

What a rat's nest.

Can you help me tie my hair back, Kabura?

Weird.

Why did I ask Kabura?

Have you by any chance done my hair before?

Keep Out

Do Not Enter

Now there's a question.

For context, when we vampires drink someone's blood, we can sense their thoughts and feelings.

Here.

What's this? A snack?

Not quite.

That pack contains my blood.

I saved it before I was turned.

So I would never forget.

Drink my blood, Nazuna.

Then I'll tell you everything.

No thanks.

Why not?!

I keep getting nosebleeds.

Hello, Honda!

How are you feeling today?

Wait, what?

Another nosebleed?! Call a nurse when that happens!

But it happens so often.

That's the point!

You have to let us know!

Is this funny to you?

How's your appetite? Were you able to eat?

Not much.

Can you keep an apple down?

I know you want to check out soon.

You've got a trip planned with your friends, right?

That sounds fun.

They've already left.

I don't know when I'll be discharged.

They said they'd invite me next time.

My health has never been good, so this happens all the time.

I'm always breaking promises.

Maybe it would be better if I just stopped trying altogether.

Why don't we go somewhere together?

Anywhere you like!

Doesn't matter if you have to cancel. I'll still see you here.

Nanakusa...

What's your first name?

I'd like for us to be on a first-name basis.

Haru.

Nanakusa Haru.

Glad to know you, Kabura.

I'm sorry I couldn't go with you.

That's right. "For the time being," they said.

Sunday, then?

Thanks.

Was that a friend?

Oh, Haru.

Hey!

You're looking well today.

The doctors are ready to discharge me.

Wow! That's great!

Thanks. But...

Huh?

While I'm away, I won't get to see you.

I'm going to miss our time together.

Here's your apple slices! Open wide!

Oh, hey, take a picture of us.

What? That's okay!

Good.

Don't overdo it.

Your father and I worry, you know.

I know.

I'll see you later.

Honda!

Long time no see!

You're late!

Hi!

Sorry I'm late again.

Here they come!

Hey!

Been waiting long?

Hiya!

What?

Huh?

All right, let's go!

T-Takizawa, who are those guys?

Huh? Friends from college.

I've been inviting them along when we hang out.

Yep!

Cheers!

You can't handle booze?

That's cute.

Oh, um, I guess?

It's more that I can't drink at all.

Aida, get your paws off Honda. She's ours!

It's not like that!

She isn't into guys, anyway.

So you don't have a boyfriend, huh?

Looking for one?

Didn't you hear what I just said?

It's a waste for her to be single!

U-Um, excuse me. I need to use the restroom.

That's just Honda, y'know?

Did you notice how many times she had to stop and rest?

Yeah. She always looks pale too.

Honestly, I wasn't sure whether to invite her today.

That's so mean!

It's just, when she's around, I feel like a nurse.

That's saying too much!

Hey.

Back so soon?

Bummer.

Yes.

Did you have a good time with your friends?

What's wrong?

How dare they?!

I hate those two-faced b*stards that have the nerve to badmouth you behind your back!

H-Haru.

Buncha cowards!

I'll kick their butts!

Calm down.

Okay, so how do we k*ll them?

Forget it.

They didn't mean to hurt my feelings.

I get why they'd need to vent sometimes.

They're nice to me most of the time. They stop and wait for me if I have to catch my breath.

It's okay if they complain sometimes.

They wait for you but never lend a hand, and they say it makes them feel like a nurse?

Who do they think they are?

Kabura, your taste in friends sucks.

You don't have to be so blunt—

You shouldn't have to put up with that, Kabura.

You're already going through enough.

Give yourself a break.

Okay?

Kabura.

What do you want, really?

Kabura.

Who do you want to be?

Who do I want to be?

Haru...

Yeah. What?

Y-You snuck up on me!

I said I was coming in. Didn't you hear me?

Preoccupied by something?

I've been thinking about what you asked me.

And I don't know.

Maybe you're overthinking it.

Okay, turn around.

Okay.

No! Y-You don't need to do my front!

Leave it to me.

I'll do it myself!

What?

I said I could do it myself.

Don't be embarrassed. We're all girls here.

But still...

It can be anything.

What do you want to do? Or be?

Get honest with yourself.

Say whatever comes to mind.

You keep stuff bottled up inside, don't you?

Sometimes you've gotta speak up.

I'm sorry about the other day!

I don't mind.

Let's hang out again when you get out of here.

We'll go someplace you wanna go!

Let's see. Someplace I want to go...

I'll have to think about it.

Sano wants to go to a hot spring.

Really? That sounds great.

But I don't know when I'll be out of the hospital again, so...

We were thinking of snowboarding!

O-Oh, really?

You went on that ski trip, right?

Don't you wanna try snowboarding?

I'm not sure I can manage.

You can just take a break when you're tired!

And after we're wiped out from a day on the slopes, we can hit the hot springs.

And then beer!

Takizawa.

You should go without me.

You see, Takizawa, I get tired just from taking a bath.

For someone like me, getting in a hot spring is risky.

I didn't go on that ski trip.

Don't you remember? We were in the same class.

Is beer after a bath that great?

Wow, you guys know so much.

You know nothing about me.

Huh?

Kabura!

What are you doing here?

You smoke.

Sometimes.

I hate cigarettes.

I hate men.

Beer.

Lies.

Promises.

Mom.

Dad.

My friends.

I hate them all.

I see.

Do I have to live the rest of my life like this?

Surrounded by people and things I hate?

I want to hang out and go places like a normal person.

I want to fall in love and have long heart-to-heart talks.

I want to run, leap, jump. I want to do all that.

Are you in love with someone?

I don't know.

Maybe. Kind of.

I can't say what I feel.

See, it's times like this you need somebody to lend an ear.

Go on. Unload on your friendly neighborhood nurse.

You're teasing me, Haru.

You know who I mean.

Yeah, I guess I do.

I'm weird that way.

Sorry.

It's totally normal.

Live long enough, you meet all kinds.

Kabura, do you want to be able to run?

I...

The telephone poles are snoring

The main thoroughfare is yawning

The vending machines were dozing

They all illuminate the night

{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
