The highest respect
To our teacher
- Time has elapsed... - Mao!
Do that in the music room.
The concert band is using it.
Then do it at home.
But we have a singing test tomorrow. Don't you guys need to practice?
Practicing now won't help.
What? Mei, how can I get better?
How should I know?
Mana.
Why don't you do it like Shiho and lie? "I can't talk."
She's lying?
I don't know. But it seems suspicious.
I'll admit, it is strange that she can't speak for two weeks.
Cut it out!
I think she's telling the truth.
You know, I think our class is cursed.
What?
I mean, Mr. Hayashi suddenly quit too.
Why did he have to quit anyway?
I don't know.
Nobody knows the real reason.
See, I told you we're cursed.
That's not funny.
But weird stuff keeps happening.
Shiho can't talk and Miho disappeared.
What? Didn't Miho's family skip town?
No way!
I heard she transferred to a school abroad.
Isn't she dead? Someone said that, too.
That's just what you want, Mao.
Oh, cut it out.
Disgusting Pig! Rich Bitch! Nobody Likes You!

What is with you?
Were you lying the whole time?
I know you can talk! Say something!
Shiho!
I've had it!
Memi!
- Mana was vanished because of Shiho. - I know.
But we need to ask Shiho about what Mana said to her.
Shiho, tell us the truth.
If you tell us honestly, I won't get angry.
I'm not lying.
What?
You're such a liar!
Listen to her.
I really did lose my voice.
The first month, at least.
The first month?
You were lying after that?
See! I told you she was lying.
She's a big liar!
Hey, you liar! Say something!
Are you Okazaki's new girlfriend, Shiho?
Please! Tell us! This is important!
What?
Is it really that important?
- Yes, is it? - Yes, it's really important!
If it is true,
then Miho is probably behind this.
Revenge on the cheating woman?
So, if Shiho apologizes, we will be released?
I think it's possible.
Miho
was really in love with Okazaki after all.
Hold on.
Would she do this because someone stole her boyfriend?
That's not the only reason.
This room
seems to have a lot of medical equipment.
Because Okazaki was a doctor?
Anyway, Shiho,
if it's true about you and Okazaki, then apologize to Miho!
That's right!
Hurry up and apologize!
"I'm sorry I stole your boyfriend."
I didn't.
I didn't steal him.
We started dating
after he and Miho broke up.
After the barbecue, he started texting me.
I ignored him.
I mean,
if I stole Miho's boyfriend, who knew what she might do?
What? You think you're that pretty?
Forget about that.
Listen to her.
Then he said he broke up with Miho, so he wanted to date me.
When was that?
About when everyone started to bully Miho.
Are you saying the bullying and your dating are related?
I mean,
since everyone was bullying her,
I thought I should do something too.
You're crazy.
What a bitch.
You're so full of yourself just because you're cute.
Apologize to Miho!
That's right. Apologize, you slut!
You're wrong. It's not Miho.
Miho isn't doing this!
Not that again?
"The culprit isn't Miho".
I've had it with you!
Kyoko!
What do you mean by that, Shiho?
Miho isn't doing this.
I mean...
Miho...
Hurry up and say it!
Keep talking, Shiho.
I mean, Miho is...
dead.
What?
Don't say that, even if you're joking!
Miho...
killed herself.
Everything you're saying and doing doesn't make sense.
- Why are you lying? - It's not a lie.
She texted me.
Out of the blue, she sent me a photo of the harbor.
She said, "I'm going to die now."
That's a lie!
When was that?
At the beginning of December.
That's about when Miho stopped coming to school.
Yes.
And...
when Shiho stopped talking.
This is crazy.
At first, I thought she was joking.
But...
then I got a bad feeling.
I texted her back, but...
it was never marked "read".
Show me your phone.
- But... - Just let me see.
The battery is dead.
She never read it.
I was scared, so I went there.
Where the photo was taken.
And?
Then...
at the end of the pier...
Calm down, Shiho.
It's all right, okay?
Right at the very edge
was just Miho's wheelchair.
But you didn't see her jump in, right?
It must be a prank.
She probably did it to get back at you.
Why would she commit suicide?
But she hasn't been to school once since then.
Has anyone seen Miho since December?
Maybe she really...
Quit talking about this!
It has to be a lie.
Are you all crazy?
She lied that she couldn't talk,
so why are you believing her now?
If, by chance...
Although, I don't believe it at all!
But if...
But if Miho wanted to commit suicide...
why would she text that to Shiho?
It's too important for that.
Why Shiho and not me?
Now that you mention it.
Miho and Shiho never really got along that well.
Wasn't it because she stole her boyfriend?
Miho would never die over something like that!
Everything Shiho said is a total lie!
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
But I never imagined she would die.
The day before she texted me that she would die,
she asked me to come talk to her.
Why?
She said, "Give me back Okazaki."
She killed herself because you refused?
Then, it really is your fault.
No, it's not.
By that time,
Okazaki and I had broken up.
What?
You broke up soon?
What the heck is with you?
Did you tell Miho that you had broken up?
Then,
she asked why we broke up.
Quit crying! We can't hear you!
I broke up with Okazaki
because I found out his secret.
Secret?
Okazaki
caused someone to die because of a medical error.
He said it was an accident, but...
he talked about it without any regret, so I became scared.
I also told Miho that that was the reason why we broke up.
Then suddenly,
Miho started crying.
She committed suicide out of shock?
That's pretty shocking, but...
Why would she die over that?
That's right.
Miho would never die over...
Oh, god! Is someone else going to vanish?
I'm here! Kyoko is here, too!
Shiho? Are you here, Shiho?
Of course not! She will be vanished for sure!
No!
Sorry. It's just my phone.
Don't scare me like that.
What?
Shiho?
No way!
Well, I'm glad we're all okay, but...
No!
I saw someone's shadow at the skylight.
There's no way!
I swear it!
I saw a dark shadow, and the window was open.
You're kidding.
Could it be
Miho's ghost?
I told you! She's not dead!
Is it going to be like this until morning?
I can't take it. I don't want to die here.
I told you, don't say that stuff!
Are we all going to be killed?
Just calm down! We still don't know.
None of us has vanished. It could be a blackout.
Oh, that's right.
Where is the lighter that Mana had?
There, under that chair.
Come to think of it,
there was a long blackout like this before.
Oh, right. There was.
The whole town went dark.
Even the traffic lights. It was scary.
When did that happen?
February 27.
You're probably right.
How did you remember that?
Okazaki said his medical error was caused by a blackout.
Really?
In the confusion from the blackout, he got the wrong IV medicine.
What? Really? That's scary.
But why would you give an IV when it's this dark?
Maybe it was an emergency, and he couldn't wait for the lights.
Before the emergency lights came on,
the hospital was pitch black.
The doctors and nurses were in a huge panic.
Of all the times, just then
a patient with asthma had an attack.
He had to hurry and give them an IV.
Okazaki had to do it all by himself.
Really?
In the dark, the tray with the IVs on it fell over.
He mistook an anesthetic for the asthma medicine.
- He didn't notice it. - No!
What? Kumi?
No. It's not possible.
Shiho.
The patient that Okazaki killed...
had asthma?
Oh, god!
No, it can't be!
Kumi?
I realize
this may not be the time to ask this, but...
You and Miho's best friend who died...
No!
Mirei! What do you mean?
Kumi.
I'm sorry.
Was the patient who died from Okazaki's mistake,
you and Miho's best friend?
Stop it!
Don't say that kind of thing!
This can't be.
It's impossible.
Her boyfriend killed her best friend.
If you realized that
from what Shiho just said...
What?
You mean, Miho was so shocked, that she...
But we can't tell it was her just from that!
I don't know.
I didn't ask him who died!
If that's true, then Miho's suicide...
Cut it out!
This is just crazy.
Let's stop talking about this.
But it's important to know if Miho killed herself or not.
Why are you so cold?
You're blaming everything on Okazaki!
All of you were bullying Miho, too!
Doesn't that bother you?
We may have driven her to do it.
Kumi.
I'm really sorry.
But you don't want to stay here, right?
Then,
when did that best friend die?
Earlier, you remembered exactly when that blackout was, right?
Shiho, can I see Kage's phone?
Just as I thought.
"People who are doing what is right die,
but scumbags who should die go on living.
It's an unjust world.
We'll change this rotten world. Perfect".
I remember that.
After this was posted,
Perfect started going off the rails, though it was meant for doing right.
Kumi, do you remember when this was posted?
Last year, on February 28th.
The day after the blackout.
Right.
Answer me, Kumi!
You're right.
I got a call not long after that blackout.
They said she had died.
But there's no way that Okazaki caused that!
I thought so, too.
I thought something must have happened during that blackout.
Miho thought the same thing.
But she was fooled by him.
Okazaki was...
so kind in explaining what happened during the blackout at the hospital.
So you backed down?
I mean, Miho said to forget it.
She said she didn't want to cause her father or Okazaki any more trouble.
Miho really backed down after that?
But if the person you loved told you to believe him,
what could you do, right?
Right.
If I hadn't opened my big mouth...
You didn't know about that, Shiho.
But...
What has happened with Okazaki anyway?
Isn't he the one to blame?
What?
- What's wrong, Shiho? - Water!
There's water!
I knew it! It is Miho's curse!
I'm sorry, Miho! I'm really sorry!
Calm down! There's no such thing as a curse!
Shiho...
Miho...
has cursed us and is killing us.
I told you, it's impossible!
But if Miho really is dead, then who would do this?
There's still someone who could be behind this.
If Miho really did kill herself,
then the person who locked us in here...
