01x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

The truth is, I had my mother k*lled.

I asked Rena to do it.

That was the first ever m*rder
she committed.

And possibly how all of this started.

What exactly…

happened between you two?

Mr. Makoto!

Can I borrow you?

Sorry. I need to go.

The office is in turmoil

so I need to go
once I've talked to the police.

-Sorry to have to leave you.
-No…

I should be the one to apologize.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

I wonder though,
where could Rena possibly be?

The police are almost here.

-And where's Makoto?
-You haven't seen him?

No.

That's really weird.

Nope.

No answer.

Where's he gone?

-I can't find him anywhere!
-Me neither!

This is bad.

The police might consider him
as a suspect!

Oh, no.

The police are almost here,
I'll go talk to them!

Thank you!

MS. TACHIBANA

Makoto?

Where are you?

Makoto?

I actually knew…

that this was the right thing to do
from the beginning.

What do you mean?

I'm going to…

go see Rena on my own.

But we don't know where she is.

I have a good guess.

It's where we…

made our promise.

Wrong direction!

19 YEARS AGO

Oops!

Don't touch it!

-Let's go!
-Let's try again.

Go somewhere else.

This is my home from now on.

What?

"This is my hideout."

From here to over there is my space!

You're not allowed in here, okay?

DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?

A beetle.

I pulled a beetle apart
and my dad scolded me.

He said I have no right to
live in this society.

Do you also think…

what I did is disgusting

or creepy?

"There are…

parents who put…

their kids

in a washing machine."

Did your parents do that?

Why don't you talk? Do you have a cold?

"There is

no point

in talking."

I'm Rena Kurokawa.

And you are?

Makoto Hanai?

I'll do what only I can do.

So I beg you…

Sawako.

Please…

don't get involved from here on.

Goodbye.

Makoto? Makoto!

A promise.

It's where Rena and I first met.

This feels amazing!
Look, the world's spinning!

Isn't this great?

Makoto!

Sawako.

Why are you here?

You said this is where you two first met.

I…

want to be involved!

If I don't I'll never have…

closure.

And I can never move on.

Just like you,

I want to face Rena properly
and see this to the end.

I understand.

However…

unfortunately, Rena's not here.

I was certain she'd be here.

It's not my blood.

I was dissecting a pigeon.

I'm not a monster.

You are the monster!

I never asked to be born!

I just want to destroy everything.

"Why don't you…

put on an act?"

What do you mean?

"You can deceive…

your dad

and the whole world."

Makoto! Let's go play!

Makoto!

What are you doing,
making out with a girl?

I told you to get home early
and cook dinner today!

Didn't I? Answer me!

-Answer me!
-Makoto!

You're so pathetic!
You can't even stand up?

Makoto…

your girlfriend's got some nerve.

Let's go.

Makoto. Makoto!

I'm sorry about the other day.

This is from my dad

as a thank-you gift.

Oh my, he shouldn't have!
He's so considerate.

Come in!

Makoto.

Did you see anyone suspicious
around your house?

Hm?

No, I didn't.

I got home and she was dead.

Makoto!

I heard what happened.

Your mom…

My mom went to hell.

I put a lid on this memory

and pretended to forget.

Sometime after Kokoro was born,

I found this…

just by coincidence.

"20050818?"

August 18, 2005.

It's the day my mom died.

Is this…?

It's Rena's secret account.

After she committed her first m*rder…

MY FAVORITE THING: PIANO

…she was using this account like a diary

where she could be vulnerable.

At first, I was checking it
in case she tries

to k*ll someone again,

but then I realized
she is human after all.

I thought her urge to k*ll
and her viciousness

were a thing of the past.

You thought she had changed?

I did.

-Makoto, look!
-Huh?

Sawako!

The time spent with you as Sawako

and you as Ms. Tachibana…

were both…

my only solace.

I even thought

that you were…

what my heart really needed.

Makoto?

But Rena is…

my fault.

So whatever happens…

I'll take full responsibility.

Which is why

I can never see you again…

after today.

I really am…

so sorry.

Makoto.

Can I ask you just one last question?

What exactly is the only thing
that you can do?

Let's go.

Rena's waiting.

Shut the hell up.

This is it between us.

Finally.

You never asked to be born either, right?

I never asked to be born!

I'm not a monster.

Rena?

I accidentally k*lled a cat again.
Even though I loved it.

Can monsters be happy too?

Why was I even born in the first place?

Am I God's science experiment?

I guess God
has a lot of time on his hands.

How do normal people feel?

I want to know. I do.

But I can't…

I'm a monster.

I can't be a mom.

Rena.

-I really wanted you to suffer!
-You thought you lucked out?

So you really won't tell her?

That's not true!

Can you just die already?

I will never forgive you.
