01x11 - She Looks

[bunniefuu]

I got 98…

It's almost a perfect score.

Can I go play?

-Why?

-Huh?

Why did you lose two scores?

I'm sorry.

You didn't answer me.

I'm asking why you made mistakes.

Explain it.

Hey!

Not done yet?

We'll be late for the birthday party!

Birthday party?

I didn't know about that.

That's mean you're hiding things from me.

I didn't mean to hide it.

How cruel. I can't believe this.

I beg you, mom!

I even bought a present with my allowance.

I'll try harder for the next exam!

Okay.

You can go.

If you think it's fine

to be like your dad,

breaking promises and betraying me…

…go ahead and have fun.

Sir?

Sir! I have finished my reading.

Then next is…

Not even trying to remember our names!

He's so lax.

He had only gone up five steps

from the start.

The lower officer held the ripped

green fabric under his armpit.

In a blink of an eye, he went down

the ladder into the depth of the night.

For a while, among the corpses,

the collapsed old woman…

See you!

Bye!

Miko, want to go to MisDo again?

My appetite's enormous lately.

Sorry, I have things to do today.

Boyfriend?

Yeah, boyfriend.

Okay, then, I will buy

boyfriend donuts today!

Sorry.

No problem, see you!

See you tomorrow, sir!

Isn't he going home pretty early?

Reforming work culture, maybe?

I knew it. There are

more of them every day.

Because of him, Hana…

Oh, that teacher, huh?

If your life force is drained that much,

even someone at your level

will run out of it.

Creepy.

It's super scary.

But I can't just let it be.

I don't want Hana to get ill.

If I stare at him,

that nasty one will notice.

And if it reacts,

the third time might happen.

Even if they save me from

that nasty one residing in him…

I don't know what will happen after.

I should do something in my power.

I just need proof to draw

him away from Hana.

I'll follow this track in the hope

that it won't notice me.

If he's about to do anything bad,

I'll call the police.

MISSING CA

If it comes to that,

he won't be able to go to school anymore.

I can't do anything just by

being able to see.

But there are things only I can do.

I'll do what I can.

He's going through

empty streets all the time.

No!

This man is a… bad call.

Ah, I remembered.

You're the one who didn't give me

the cat in the park.

Don't look!

What are you doing here?

I am just…

Were you following me?

Won't you give me that cat?

Oh, no, this is bad!

What the hell am I doing?

If I just hide and report it…

I'd catch him red-handed.

He'll definitely be kicked out of school.

But I can't just turn a blind eye!

You still haven't answered me.

Why won't you give me the cat?

Please explain.

Could it be… you're the one…

Wait!

Go away. It's not food.

Did anything strange happen today?

I'LL DEFINITELY GET A PERFECT SCORE!

Nothing. Not at all.

I see.

THE BEST FOOD FOR KITTENS

Zen! Let's play outside!

Ah, I'll pass for today!

Welcome home.

What are you doing?

I want to get some air to change my mood.

Go finish your homework.

Yes.

I'm home!

I'm home…

I have k*lled it.

You're hiding things from me again, huh?

My heart is hurting…

you betrayer.

You're the most precious thing to me.

So you should listen only to me

and hold me dear.

Promise me, Zen.

It's not your fault.

But…

I jumped of my own volition.

It's my fault.

Is that cat all right?

Yes.

For now, I took it home.

Hey, what do you eat? Meat bowl?

We shouldn't give meat.

What about chocolate?

Isn't that dangerous?

I see. What a relief.

Y-you see, I…

I thought that you'd do

bad things to the cats.

Me? Why?

T-that's because…

Don't look!

I can't say it, but…

Why did you save the cat?

There's a case of animal abuse

around my place.

I thought that you did it.

What?

You're so suspicious for following me.

You also didn't give me the cat

for adoption last time.

A-about that time…

Also, your attitude at school is weird.

You're strange, you know.

That's mean, but I can't deny it.

Did you walk through

the back street to patrol?

Not that it works.

All I found were dead ones.

Those that were too weak to live.

Somehow I understand now.

Maybe, these cats are…

If you are looking for adopters,

be very careful with social media.

Not everyone who comes to you

is a good person.

I have contacts on my side.

So I can search--

By contacts, you mean me?

Do you want to flood my veterinary

hospital with cats, Zen?

Satoru.

Never thought Zen would have

a student that'd visit him.

Excuse me, have you known

Mr. Zen for long?

He's been my friend since elementary.

I didn't think he'd have any friends.

Quite something you said there.

Well, he doesn't have an interest

in other humans anyway.

He doesn't remember

his students' names, right?

Yes, not at all.

I was not surprised at all when

I heard he got hit by a car for a cat.

Really?

Recently, he contacted me saying

the cat he saved gave birth.

In the end, the one

who took them all is me.

He likes cats that much,

but he doesn't keep one himself.

Well…

His late mother was a very strict person.

In the past, she found out

about the cat he kept in secret.

He said it was his fault the cat died,

but probably it was his mother who…

Eh?

She's a very scary mother.

Rather than educating,

she was basically controlling him.

I also got "Don't get closer,"

or "Don't look at him," from her a lot.

Don't look!

Then that thing is…

I think even now, Zen is still being

chained by his late mother.

I think he saves cats in

an attempt to move on.

He can be reckless, right? Like this time.

The only thing I can do

is to treat the cats that Zen saves

and find adopters.

Why are you helping him?

I'm just helping a friend in need.

That's all.

But thanks to you, I feel relieved.

Eh?

He's finally able to communicate

with his student.

Not exactly.

I wish one day, he'd save the cats

because of love and not guilt.

I hope so, as a veterinarian

and as a friend.

Ah, don't tell Zen

what I have told you, okay?

It's embarrassing.

Yes.

I'll get back to work.

See you.

E-excuse me.

Thank you very much.

Where is Satoru?

He said he was getting back to work

and asked me to say farewell.

I see.

As I said, if you want to look

for cat adopters,

going to Satoru's place is the safest.

Sir.

Once you're discharged,

will you take the cat?

No, I…

Don't look!

This happened because of

a misunderstanding.

You like cats, don't you?

Go away!

I don't like them that much.

Not at all.

If you don't like them, your body

won't move naturally like that.

Don't look!

That's enough.

Please, set him free.

The third time.

This time, even I got

goosebumps all over me.

Creepy plus scary, it's totally hellish!
