Amazing!
Her maximum range is up by 10%, and her accuracy is at 98%.
She's almost perfect.
She'll finally be of some use now.
Send her home for today.
She says she wants to keep going.
Tell her to hold back a bit.
I feel like it'll disappear...
...the instant I look away.
I just kept counting...
...all the many traces of loneliness...
...that I'd vomited up.
In this time that seems so dry,
...my heart is thrashing around and drowning.
It takes those lies that make my head spin...
...and tears them to pieces.
And the place I lose my way in...
...is a dim, hazy world.
I thought it would be enough...
What should I do...?
You came along in the nick of time.
Glad to be of service.
It takes over an hour to get to town from there,
...and it's dangerous for a girl to be walking around there all alone.
There's a lot of scary stuff going on nowadays.
Is that so?
There are a lot of kids nowadays that are like you.
I'm on my way to give a good scolding...
...to a strange girl who didn't call to say she wasn't coming in.
If she doesn't feel like working, why doesn't she just quit?
Geez, kids nowadays...
Work is proof to society that you exist.
Life isn't fun at all unless you work as hard as you can to be recognized by someone.
I can understand that.
Did I say something strange?
I'm sorry, but I didn't think that you and I would see eye to eye on anything.
Thank you very much.
Oh, wait a minute.
Here, use this.
It's right over there.
It's all right.
I'll give you my business card, so you can return it whenever.
In that case, if you'll excuse me...
Eiko Yano, huh?
I've got no energy... I ditched work again today.
I bet I'm gonna get scolded again.
You have nothing to worry about, Chie.
If anyone ever harasses you, I'll make them pay.
Thank you, l...
What's the big idea?
You were absent without leave! This is the second time this month!
I know...
Are you sick or something?
No...
It's boring.
What is?
I only get assigned the boring stuff.
You're putting the cart before the horse there.
If you do a good job with what you're given, I'll trust you with work suited to you.
Hey, stop that!
Why are you doing the dishes while I'm talking to you?!
I thought it would be rude if they were dirty.
Geez... Why can't you get your act together?
If you can't, it all becomes my responsibility.
Yes, ma'am...
Is something wrong?
I thought I heard a noise.
Really?
Well, I'll be going now.
Make sure you come to work tomorrow.
Yes, ma'am...
Good morning.
Excuse me, let me leave this here.
No problem.
Oh, that's for your vespa.
Yes.
Would you like me to take it over later?
Miss Robin?
I'm gonna borrow this!
Sure...
That's amazing, you actually look bored.
What, Sakaki?
If you have something to say, you should come right out and say it.
No, it's nothing.
It's just an accident.
The police wrapped up their investigation of the scene yesterday.
Can you dig around a little more?
What is it? Something happen?
No, it's just that...
Is it some sort of incident, Robin?
N-No, it's nothing at all.
Amon, I want to go pick up my bike.
H-Hey!
This isn't going to happen again, understand?
If you think I'm your chauffeur, you're...
Do you think we could take a detour?
What?
What in the world is this about?
What's the big idea, calling me out on a personal call like this?
I'm sorry.
I was up all night working, and haven't slept at all...
Investigating accidents isn't our job.
I know that.
Why are we here, then?
I thought this would be better than touching a corpse.
That's not what I'm asking.
I saw her right before she died.
Thanks to her, I was able to stay dry during the storm.
That was all I knew about her,
...but at the very least, I want people to know what happened in the last moments of her life.
No... I want to know.
I'm not here just to satisfy your curiosity.
Our job is to hunt Witches!
We don't need to poke our noses into accidents involving normal...
Don't get so worked up.
Children are selfish by nature. She'll be satisfied if you go through with it.
Getting anything?
I'm sensing tremendous surprise.
I'm not sure exactly why.
What was she surprised by?
I just said that I don't know!
Probably by a cat jumping out into the street or something.
That's impossible.
There are no skid marks.
If something had jumped out, she would have reacted by slamming on her brakes.
I'm also curious about the wound on her neck.
Maybe she wasn't watching the road.
If you're thrown through a windshield, a wound like that isn't too unusual.
It's certainly true that humans die easily.
Amon!
I want to see the girl that Miss Eiko said she was on her way to visit.
Keep her company until she's satisfied.
I'm going home. Hang in there, Amon.
I had no idea you could be this aggressive.
Yes?
For her sister, you don't look very much alike.
She was going to be my sister.
He's Miss Eiko's boyfriend, and I'm his sister.
My brother has been in shock ever since she passed away.
Did Miss Eiko say anything unusual to you last night?
Did she have any enemies?
I don't think so. For starters, Miss Eiko is really pretty,
...and she's good at her job.
Aren't you sad about it?
Huh? Why?
Well, because she was your boss.
Oh, I have to go to work.
Miss Eiko scolded me last night.
- Um... - Let's go.
Sorry we bothered you.
Satisfied now?
Why are you so obsessed with this?
That girl... She's strange.
She had an alibi.
The landlord saw her see Miss Eiko off from her apartment.
That may be true, but...
She really is strange.
I can go pick up your bike for you right now.
I forgot the fuel tank.
Oh, Miss Robin?
Michael asked me to tell you to come to the office when you got back.
Michael?
I found out quite a bit, Robin.
Won't it look suspicious for us all to be out of the office?
Oh, it'll be fine!
The girl Chie that you guys just met...
We shouldn't be doing this. This is personal...
Given a choice between orders and curiosity, I'll choose curiosity.
What's this?
A CT scan of her brain.
She was hospitalized once because of a concussion,
...and this was taken at that time.
See, look over here.
This part of her brain is all fragmented.
Is that area supposed to be connected?
Yup. Having that area all fragmented like this...
...is a typical symptom of multiple personality disorder.
But there hasn't been a single report of her displaying other personalities.
In other words, she has no problems in her day-to-day life?
That's the long and short of it.
Why don't we quit while we're ahead?
This person hasn't done anything, and look at how we're treating her.
She's a Witch.
What makes you so sure? How can you explain it?
I can't explain it...
It's a dangerous idea to say that every person that has strange things going on is a Witch!
We'll be in big trouble if we have another false alarm!
Robin, you're just itching for a chance to use your powers!
Aren't there times when YOU want to use your powers, Karasuma?!
I noticed that everyone was missing, and where do I find you sneaking around...?
Digging through personal information with no grounds whatsoever...
Even for the STN, this is abuse of power!
Amon, you of all people should know that!
Who started all this?
I did.
I asked them to.
Robin...!
Since you just got assigned here, you must be tired.
You can go home for today and rest up.
But l...
Robin.
Do as you're told.
All right, playtime's over! Break it up!
Aw, just when I was finally having a little fun...
It's unusual to see you show an interest in work.
Seeing me in a better light?
Not hardly.
On her family tree, how many degrees of kinship did you look up?
Out to the third.
Check it out to the sixth degree.
But that's an abuse of power...
Orders or curiosity. Which will it be?
If you hit the jackpot, I'll show you a website that'll knock your socks off.
Okay, I'll do it!
What are you doing?
Measuring the oil. These scooters use mixed fuel.
Sounds like a lot of work.
Well, I'll go on ahead. Please be careful on your way back.
Sure.
I'd better hurry...
Here, use this.
It's certainly true that humans die easily.
Geez, kids nowadays...
Huh? Why?
You're just itching for a chance to use your powers!
I found a Witch among her distant relatives.
Really?
But I found out something even more interesting.
Three years ago, her boyfriend died in a very strange way.
He died from blood loss when his Achilles' tendon and an artery were cut.
That's an odd way to die.
That guy was quite a player, it looks like.
That Chie girl might have just been a fling.
Was she a suspect?
No. She had a solid alibi for that case, too.
Thanks for all the trouble.
Amon, how about that killer website?
Oh, that?
I'll let you know when you're an adult.
Aw, man...
Is that it?
I'm sorry.
Don't use those powers in this house ever again.
It may be nothing to you, but...
Black, right?
I guess it means you're still young.
Hey, have you heard of the Law of Conservation of Matter?
When water boils, it decreases in quantity.
But all it does is turn into water vapor and hide in the air.
Human emotions are like that, as well.
Emotions that you gloss over are hiding somewhere.
They never, ever disappear.
That's the truth.
I'll try to have more faith in what I think.
That was a waste of time.
He'll pay!
We'll make him pay!
He'll pay!
We'll make him pay...
Hello, Resource Management Center.
Chie, we have a huge problem! That guy came by again.
The guy who said he was her boyfriend. He was here, sniffing around our secret.
I've taken steps for now.
But I'm still worried, so hurry home!
All right.
You'll pay!
I see...
So that's what happened.
Hello?
We won't let anyone stick their noses into our secret!
No one!
You'll pay!
We won't let anyone!
Jeanne!
Chie, kill her!
Avenge Jeanne!
We can't let her leave alive!
Come on, let's kill her!
Chie!
Hurry!
Robin!
Set the dolls on fire! They're part of the Witch, too!
Guys...
Wait!
Forget it. It's too late.
45, 46, 47, 48, 49...
According to Amon's report, there were fifty dolls in total.
So where's the last one?
Maybe it's still running around somewhere!
But the Witch herself has died, right?
That's true. It couldn't possibly be doing that.
A job well done.
No...
Don't be so modest.
It's not that.
It's sad for someone you know to die. I just wanted to take my mind off of it.
But she was different. It didn't bother her at all.
That was...
I wanted to believe that someone passing away was something...
...that would always move someone emotionally, no matter what.
You can return it whenever.
I'm sorry I couldn't return it to you properly...
Touko...
Just how far back do I need to go?
Tell me.
It's all so vivid that it hurts.
The truth is, nothing can be shared,
...so I never looked back.
...all those promises...
...inside me eventually...
...gave up on that light from some other time,
...like the light of a morning you can't return to.
