EPISODE 22: SO WE'RE
GONNA DO IT ALL RIGHT NOW?!

[door closes]

[sighs] It's chillier outside
than I thought it would be.

[MARIN]
It's official.

The trains are still down.

[WAKANA] If I had decided
to brave it and walk home

I definitely would
have caught a cold.

Thanks for letting
me stay here.

[light music]

MANDOM XXX EXTREME |
SUPER AWESOME Z

[MARIN]
I'm freaking out.

Which one did he buy?

[WAKANA]
Kitagawa.

[exclaims]

So want the first bath?

[dramatic beat]

Hmm.

A bath?

That'd be awkward, wouldn't it?

[WAKANA]
Not at all.

I'll be busy playing
the rest of the game

so go ahead.

Yeah.

OK.

[water spraying]

Well, tonight

Mm.

[light music]

[WAKANA] Well, tonight

♪ ♪

Hmm.

Mm, this one.

It looked awesome
on me during the sh**t.

Genius shopping, Marin.

Let's do this!

Hmm!

[running footsteps]

Huh?

The bathroom's free.

I'm done.

So--

Got it.

I'll head that way in a minute.

And I left some fresh
clothes out for you.

I need to do laundry.

So just throw your stuff
in the washer.

Mind hitting start for me?

Not at all.

[washer humming]

[sighs]

I didn't mean for it
to play out like this

but it feels like
Gojo def had plans.

Why'd he get so determined
all of a sudden?

I invited him to sleep
here, but I wasn't trying

to take it to this level.

I'm totally unprepared.

[gasps]

I heard this urban
legend about how

if you keep a condom
in your wallet

you'll get hella rich!

Here's yours, Gojo.

Good luck.

Good luck!

Good luck.

Maybe we are prepared!

[WAKANA sighs in relief] Her
bath is like going to the spa.

It's super relaxing in here.

SLEEPING OVER

[dramatic beat]

Sleeping over is bad

but if I never
actually go to sleep

this is nothing more
than an extended hangout.

[rooster crowing]

At the end of the day

perspective is everything.

Question...

why choose this one?

Isn't this hoodie
important to you?

It's Shizuku-tan.

Yeah, but it's cool.

[WAKANA] Do you
have anything else?

It's all I've got that's
toasty and will fit.

That's unfortunate.

I'm starting to lose
my composure again.

The clothes I wore
today are in the wash

so there's nothing I can do.

It's fine.

I just need to focus
on beating the game.

Kitagawa.

Yeah? What's up?

[WAKANA] You don't
look very comfortable.

Uh, how weird.

I really look that uncomfy?

Yes.

This is her home after all.

She should be comfy
in the middle of the couch.

[MARIN] Gojo is acting like
a totally different person.

He's being more
assertive than usual.

[gulps]

I'm chilling, but I guess
I can scooch over a bit.

[WAKANA]
All right.

[MARIN]
Holy crap.

Is this how it starts?

For real, though

Gojo's the one
driving this train

so he should say
something first, right?

I'm sure he will soon

We're skipping a ton of steps.

We need to go
on an official date.

We need to hold hands.

We haven't even
had our first kiss!

We're totally jumping the g*n.

So we're going to do
it all right now?

This is too much.

All of the bases in one night!

Ah!

[thud]

Ugh!

Mother trucker, that hurt.

Ugh.

Huh?

[WAKANA]
Kitagawa.

[gasps]

[whimpers]

Do you feel OK?

That sounded really painful.

Tell me where it hurts.

[MARIN]
Gojo, he's so close.

Let me help!

[whimpering]

[gasps]

Huh?

Is something wrong?

Just slow down, please.

Now isn't a good time.

I just need a second
or two to calm down.

Maybe I could have
a snack first?

Uh, sure.

I'm so sorry.

Why?

[lighthearted music]

[blowing]

[slurping]

Mm-hmm, yum!

I was, like, hella nervous.

But I feel way better now
that my belly is happy.

[WAKANA]
Nervous?

[MARIN]
Act natural, Marin.

Fake it till you make it, girl.

Not to be rude, but are
these noodles an OK snack?

Your diet.
- Yeah, they're great!

I got the low-cal
version so I can feast.



[slurping] Mm!

Instant noodles hit
different at night.

I guess.

I don't eat them very often.

[MARIN]
You don't?

[slurping]

My dad loves movies.

He would watch super long
movie marathons on weekends.

When he inevitably got hungry
in the middle of the night

he snuck a secret cup
of instant noodly goodness.

The sound of boiling
water always woke me up

so I'd crash the party.

The later it was

Or maybe they tasted better
because I had to fight

my dad for them. [giggling]

[WAKANA] I love
family stories like that.

Ah.

I've been so good
about my diet

but I'm craving fried
food like crazy.

I bet you are.

[breathing deeply]

[door creaking shut]

CHARLOTTE: WHAT WOULD
YOU LIKE TO KNOW?

LITERATURE, ART, BIOLOGY

[light music]

[can popping]

Mm?

charlotte: would you shut up?

YOUR VOICE IS
GRATING ON MY EARS.

Well, that's strange.

She's never been harsh before.

This conversation feels off.

Did I choose the wrong option?

SORT | REMEMBER |
MEMORIZE | CLOSE

I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER

[gasps] All my saves

I can't go back.

"BECAUSE WE'RE FAMILY."
"LET'S HAVE DINNER."

A REDDISH BLACK CLUMP WAS
OVERFLOWING ON MY PLATE.

"HEY, WHAT IS THIS?"
I ASKED AS I TASTED IT.

WHY?

IT WAS HARD TO BREATHE

LIKE AIR WAS LEAKING
THROUGH MY NECK.

ALL THAT'S THERE
IS AN EMPTY PLATE.

I JUST CURLED UP QUIETLY

THE SCREAMS CONTINUED
OVER AND OVER IN MY HEAD.

I RAISED MY VOICE
OVER AND OVER

BUT I COULD FEEL OUR
OUTLINES STARTING TO BLUR.

THEN, SHE SPOKE TO ME.

"YOU AREN'T CLEVER ENOUGH.

YOUR HANDS ARE
ALWAYS OUTSTRETCHED.

YOUR HANDS ARE FULL.

YOU CAN'T EVEN PICK UP
WHAT HAS FALLEN."

AFTER SAYING THAT

I PICKED UP THE PIECES OF HER

THAT HAD SCATTERED
ACROSS THE FLOOR.

I'LL NEVER FORGET
THE LOOK IN MY MOTHER'S EYES.

SHE LOOKED AT ME
LIKE I WAS TAINTED.

APPARENTLY, MY MOTHER NOTICED.

AND SHE KEPT SCOLDING ME

BUT IT WASN'T MY DECISION

TO OPEN MY LEGS.

WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

IN THE END, THEY ALWAYS SAID

"BECAUSE WE'RE FAMILY."

AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.

EVEN THEN, A PART OF ME STILL

WANTED MY MOTHER TO LOVE ME.

BUT MY MOTHER DIDN'T SAVE ME.

MY MOTHER WAS A WOMAN, TOO.
IT MAKES ME SICK.

"COME TO THE BEDROOM

MY FATHER TOLD ME THAT DAY.

I WILL NEVER FORGET
THE DARK, COLD STAIRCASE

THAT LED DOWN TO THE CELLAR.

WHEN I ENTERED THE BEDROOM

THE DOOR AND TOLD ME
TO READ THE BIBLE.

"COME HERE." HE TOLD ME
TO SIT ON HIS LAP.

I COULD NEVER FORGET

MY FATHER'S HANDS

I ASKED HIM TO STOP

"THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH THIS

BECAUSE WE'RE FAMILY."

I SCREAMED INSIDE MY HEAD

OVER AND OVER.

OVER AND OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AND OVER

WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?
I DON'T KNOW.

THE AREA BETWEEN MY LEGS HADS

WELLED UP AND WAS
THE COLOR OF A FIG.

"YOU WILL SPEAK OF THIS TO
NO ONE

ALL THAT REMAINED IN
THE ROOM WAS MY BROKEN HEART.

JUST FORGET IT
JUST FORGET IT

BECAUSE NOTHING
ACTUALLY HAPPENED

"FAMILY" "OVER AND OVER"
"FAMILY" "WE ARE" "FAMILY"

"BECAUSE WE'RE FAMILY."

[eerie screaming]

[snores]

[birds chirping]

Hmm?

It's morning?

I practically slept till lunch.

Hang on!

So nothing happened last night?

Explain yourself!

Huh?

Were you out here all night?

Yeah.

But why?

Huh?

[curious music]

[gasps]

[distorted music]

The energy drinks he
bought...

are totally normal?

So the reason you wanted
to stay up all night

was to beat the game?

Right. Turns out it's easier
said than done.

What went wrong?

I guess I'm a pretty
empathetic person at times.

Since I wasn't focused
on the costume

I was tuned in to the story
more than I usually am.

[groans] That was a mistake.

Yikes. Maybe some brekkie will
make you feel better?

I don't know.

Thank you, but the thought
of eating right now

makes me want to--

- Uh--
- [groaning]

Uh--

[gagging]

[door slams]

OK.
GOJO DOLLS

So it was Mira
the whole time.

She made them disappear.

The truth is

existed in the first place.

She dreamt them up
as a way to forget what

happened with her real family.

We watched her create
a new family in her head.

But in reality, she was
lying in a hospital bed

for the entirety of the game.

The more she lost her
grip on what was real

the more incoherent
the conversations became.

When I realized what it was
she was trying to forget

the "I don't want to remember"
message got even creepier.

The game forces you to see
things through someone

else's tortured psyche.

[SUZUKA]
His reaction is still so fresh!

Perfect!

Their personalities faded.

It seemed all they
could do was argue.

As the nights went on

became eating her friends.

If she consumed them

Her new family would
never leave her.

It was way too dark for me.

And the worst part
was the title screen

after you beat the game.
COFFIN

So gruesome!

I love that they threw
in one final jumpscare!

[WAKANA]
Huh?

It's perfection!

[quirky music]

[WAKANA]
That adds up.

She had a blast exploring
the abandoned hospital.

There.

That looks about right

Undoing it and redoing
it was a good idea.

[MIRAI]
I beg you, listen to me!

I refuse!

You disgust me.

Remove yourself from my sight!

You make us want to vomit.

[SHION]
I told you, Mirai.

Happiness doesn't last forever.

[knocking on door]

[yelling]

[SAJUNA]
Come in.

It's just me.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

Suzuka made plans for Saturday.

She, uh, wants
our thoughts on the spot.

[SAJUNA]
All right.

Trouble is

I'm supposed
to go shopping with Marin right

before we'd need to leave.

So I was kind of hoping
that you could come with us?

[SAJUNA]
That's fine.

Hmm.

Oh!

Sister Mira's wig.

You went out of your way
to style it for me?

Yes.

You've been busy communicating
plans with Suzuka

and the rest of the group.

Helping with your cosplay
is the least I can do.

[gasps]

[soft music]

♪ ♪

Thanks so much.

You're the best.

Are you styling Sister
Claire's wig next?

Can I watch you?

[SAJUNA] I can't move my arms
with you sitting so close.

But you're welcome to watch.

[moaning]

I'm such an idiot.

I read into nothing and sent
my hopes through the roof.

I even put on my purest

I need to find a cave, like

Ugh!

All that over an energy drink?

Ugh!

It high-key scared
the crap out of me.

But it meant taking
things to the next level.

Being friends is
great...

but I want more.

I need to suck it up
and tell him

"I like you. So will--
will you go out with me?"

Oh.

Not so bad.

Easy money, right?

Back then, I could
say it no problem.

But he freaks
at romantic stuff

and shuts down
questions about us.

He's terrified of people
getting the wrong idea.

What if he really
just thinks of me

as a friend and nothing more?

If-- if I tell him I
like him, that's it.

There's no more in between.

Oh.

Mm?

I didn't know.

I enjoy spending time with
you and making your outfits

but I thought that
we were just friends.

Uh, I'm at a loss
for words here.

I'm sorry.

Let me think it over.

Oh. Today, huh?

I'm actually busy
with, let's see--

right.

I need to practice
drawing faces

so please excuse me.

Today's busy, too.

Mickey D's calls, bro.

[KASHIWAGI]
Gojo already went home.

[whimpering, crying]

My stupid imagination
hurt my own feelings.

It's not a far stretch.

He's avoided me like I was the
freakin' plague once before.

Oh!

[train rumbling]

Marin, why have you looked
like literal death today?

I haven't eaten.

I'm too depressed
to think about it.

[NOWA]
That's no good.

So when you skipped
lunch today

it wasn't 'cause of your diet?

[MARIN]
I need help.

Imagine there's someone
you just consider a friend.

How would you respond
if they asked you on a date?

Someone asked you out?

That's cool.

It's just hypothetical.

Mm...

I'd say no.

Hmm?

I don't like them.

[MARIN]
For real?

That's so brutal.

Imagine if Kensei
asked you out.

[MARIN]
Barf.

So you get my point.

KENSEI GETTING DUMPED
WHEN HE'S NOT EVEN THERE

I would reject him.

There's nothing
else I could do.

[NOWA]
Exactly.

He's not my type

and I don't think I'm his.

He would never want
to go out with me

and that's a-OK.

You get it.

I guess I already did.

Just needed confirmation.

She's right.

Friends are friends.

I knew that.

GOJO DOLLS

It's Marin.

Uh-- oh, no!

Kitagawa.

Hmm?

I think you should go.

Huh?

Oh, I didn't
mean it that way!

[MARIN]
You're frying mackerel?

I was.

I know you want fried food.

You mentioned craving
it the other night.

I figured fried fish
was healthy enough

but apparently, it's still too
heavy to eat at dinner time.

I've never gone
on a diet before.

So I didn't know about
the timing aspect.

You got here before--

[MARIN] Why can't
I just spit it out?

Sorry.

♪ ♪

You came all the way here, and
now you have nothing to eat.

[MARIN]
I have this.

Huh?

It looks great.

Uh, are you sure?

I can call today
my cheat day.

Cheat day?

Would you like me
to remove the breading?

I'm planning to grill
Grandpa's fish.

Mm-mm.

I want it like this.

[crunching]

[squealing] The crunchy
breading and the fluffy fish

are like soulmates!

[chuckling]

That's good.

But eat your vegetables, too.

Mm-hmm. Hmm?

What are these k*ller flavors?

It's plum and shiso.

So it doesn't need any sauce.

It's healthier.

[GRANDPA] You're becoming
quite the chef, Wakana.

[WAKANA]
You think so?

[GRANDPA]
Certainly.

[WAKANA]
Oh, yeah.

Yours has grated
daikon in it, Grandpa.

[GRANDPA]
Nutritious and delicious.

After watching Marin eat hers

my stomach's telling me to
taste-test the fried version.

Then you can have half.

Don't be stingy.

[WAKANA] I couldn't
prepare very much

so no leftovers tonight.

I'm sorry.

Mm.

Well, then-- oh.

Hey, Gojo.

Walk with me?

Just tonight?

Yeah, I don't mind.

Wait for me here.

I'll go grab a coat.

Mm.

It's been getting
dark so early lately.

Yeah.

I forgot to mention.

Murakami told me--

Kitagawa?

Hey, while we're
here, there's something

I'd like to tell you.

Mm.

I, uh...

can I come
over again tomorrow?

[train rumbling]

Of course. I'd like that.

[light music]

I'll give you some
money for the food.

Huh? You don't need to!

You pay me way too generously
for making your outfits.

OK.

Ugh, I'm being such a weenie.

I need to pull my head out

I'm mentally
exhausted right now.

And we have our group

After we wrap up

I have to!

I have to tell Gojo
