WEBVTT
00:11.330 --> 00:13.510
Reko-pon is right here!
00:13.510 --> 00:18.500
Throwing out stuff like "depending on
who sees it, you don't exist"...
00:18.500 --> 00:22.710
But I can even touch her... just like this!
00:22.710 --> 00:24.610
Isn't that right, Gwen-kun?!
00:24.610 --> 00:26.780
Y-Yeah.
00:27.130 --> 00:33.020
Just as you look exactly like Reiko-san,
there are others like you here.
00:33.310 --> 00:35.080
How do you know that?!
00:35.080 --> 00:39.120
I was living in Kowloon right
before it was demolished.
00:40.390 --> 00:43.780
Some of my acquaintances from
back then are still here.
00:43.780 --> 00:46.790
People who should be living
elsewhere right now.
00:49.860 --> 00:52.050
So, I conducted an experiment.
00:52.710 --> 00:57.770
"What will happen to the second version
if the original enters this Kowloon?"
00:58.380 --> 01:01.110
The second version disappeared.
01:01.600 --> 01:02.770
Disappeared?
01:03.100 --> 01:07.650
We don't see the second version
of me because I am here.
01:07.960 --> 01:10.570
He disappeared and no longer exists.
01:11.670 --> 01:13.600
Did you see him?
01:14.000 --> 01:16.570
Okay. I see.
01:16.990 --> 01:19.770
Does Kudo-san know that too?
01:19.770 --> 01:21.680
Yeah, he does.
01:21.680 --> 01:23.770
So according to that rule,
01:23.770 --> 01:28.760
the original and the second version can't
exist at the same time in this Kowloon.
01:28.760 --> 01:33.510
But in Reko-pon's case, Kujirai B...
Reiko-san doesn't exist anymore!
01:34.470 --> 01:35.760
That's true.
01:36.110 --> 01:38.760
Reiko-san has already passed away.
01:38.760 --> 01:42.480
So you won't disappear suddenly
because the original shows up here.
01:43.240 --> 01:48.890
But if Reiko-san were alive,
you'd be the one who disappeared.
01:51.890 --> 01:55.670
In fact, I saw a second version
disappear right in front of my eyes.
01:55.670 --> 01:59.950
People who disappear like
that can't really...
02:01.280 --> 02:05.850
We don't exist in this world.
02:07.280 --> 02:09.650
Right, just like this Kowloon.
02:11.660 --> 02:15.090
I'm not okay with that at all!
02:15.090 --> 02:17.520
I'll go to Hong Kong and see for myself!
02:17.520 --> 02:17.930
Huh?!
02:17.930 --> 02:20.590
Gwen-kun's story isn't
enough to convince me!
02:20.590 --> 02:23.670
I'll ask around about Kowloon in Hong Kong!
02:24.850 --> 02:26.700
So wait for me, Reko-pon.
02:26.700 --> 02:30.970
I'm definitely not going to admit
that Reko-pon doesn't exist!
02:34.560 --> 02:36.740
Are you all right?
02:36.740 --> 02:38.320
Huh? Oh.
02:39.020 --> 02:42.610
I'm rather... confused about all of this.
02:42.610 --> 02:45.120
Let me know if there's anything I can do.
02:45.120 --> 02:47.990
Not that I understand everything
that's going on here.
02:47.990 --> 02:49.840
Oh, okay.
02:50.170 --> 02:52.450
I'm sorry I've been hard on you.
02:53.050 --> 02:59.210
You don't know anything, and Kudo-san
seems to care about you, at least.
02:59.810 --> 03:02.610
He cares about me?
03:02.610 --> 03:07.300
Yeah. Not sure if it's the same feelings
he had for Reiko-san, though.
03:08.540 --> 03:10.870
Well, I'm going now. I'm hungry.
03:10.870 --> 03:13.520
Yaomay-chan knows how to
get in touch with me.
03:28.250 --> 03:29.190
Huh?
03:29.840 --> 03:32.000
Hey, Kujirai!
03:33.460 --> 03:35.110
What's wrong? You by yourself?
03:35.110 --> 03:39.640
Y-Yes. I had a plans with Yaomay,
but they fell through.
03:39.640 --> 03:40.960
Oh?
03:40.960 --> 03:43.250
You wanna go for boiled dumplings, then?
03:43.550 --> 03:45.640
I won mahjong, so it's on me.
03:47.090 --> 03:48.250
Okay...
03:50.510 --> 03:56.010
It's nothing short of creepy for
something to exist when it shouldn't.
03:56.700 --> 04:01.680
But when it's right here in front of me,
where I can actually touch it...
04:09.300 --> 04:10.890
I can taste that it's good.
04:11.420 --> 04:12.420
Hmm?
04:12.900 --> 04:18.430
I feel numbed to the creepiness,
and I stop knowing what's certain.
04:19.500 --> 04:22.780
I can see why Miyuki-chan
wants to use this for revenge.
04:23.500 --> 04:26.310
Hey, you've got a scallion on your mouth.
04:27.270 --> 04:28.920
Huh? Did I get it?
04:28.920 --> 04:31.260
Not there. Stay still.
04:32.210 --> 04:36.170
Same appearance, same voice, same warmth.
04:37.430 --> 04:42.020
Even though you know they don't exist,
you can't help but get attached.
06:15.040 --> 06:16.450
Faat
06:15.500 --> 06:16.450
Tsumo!
06:16.450 --> 06:18.950
Gosh, you're good at this!
06:19.210 --> 06:21.710
Kujirai-chan wins yet again.
06:22.430 --> 06:23.970
Are you serious?
06:24.370 --> 06:26.490
I'm blessed with good luck.
06:27.190 --> 06:30.300
That was my first All Green this year.
06:30.300 --> 06:32.230
I thought you were cheating.
06:32.230 --> 06:33.970
Oh, watch your mouth.
06:38.350 --> 06:39.780
A prescription?
06:39.780 --> 06:41.240
Are you sick?
06:41.240 --> 06:42.390
For my insomnia.
06:42.390 --> 06:43.840
Didn't I tell you?
06:43.840 --> 06:45.240
First I'm hearing of it.
06:45.240 --> 06:46.150
When did it start?
06:46.150 --> 06:47.100
Since forever.
06:47.100 --> 06:50.440
I always take sleeping pills
after you fall asleep.
06:50.440 --> 06:52.840
Hmm...
06:53.230 --> 06:56.790
Okay! I'll show you a good time
every night to tire you out,
06:56.790 --> 06:59.450
so you'll fall asleep without pills!
07:00.610 --> 07:03.800
But I'm having a good time now.
07:03.800 --> 07:05.540
Then I'll make it even better!
07:09.210 --> 07:10.200
Tsumo!
07:13.670 --> 07:14.950
What's that mean?
07:14.950 --> 07:16.690
I drew you with my luck, didn't I?
07:17.320 --> 07:21.100
Well, I guess you couldn't have cheated
to have me transferred here.
07:22.570 --> 07:26.360
I told you, my luck is strong.
07:27.280 --> 07:31.730
Since the weather is so nice out,
why don't you go for a walk?
07:32.070 --> 07:34.980
Close the curtains, Haoran.
07:38.690 --> 07:42.130
Father, I am Miyuki.
07:42.700 --> 07:45.120
That's what I called you.
07:52.780 --> 07:54.870
Yulong. Any update?
07:54.870 --> 07:58.110
Yes. About the original Reiko Kujirai...
08:00.450 --> 08:03.130
So she was Dr. Wong's patient.
08:03.390 --> 08:06.900
Prescription
08:03.850 --> 08:06.900
Reiko Kujirai's cause of death was an overdose.
08:07.300 --> 08:09.110
She took too many pills.
08:09.470 --> 08:13.400
Right before she died, the doctor
prescribed more pills than usual.
08:13.770 --> 08:19.180
Looking at her medical record,
her prescription was for strong sleeping pills,
08:19.180 --> 08:22.160
but they wouldn't kill her unless she
took tens of thousands of them.
08:22.160 --> 08:25.280
He didn't cause her death.
08:25.280 --> 08:29.410
But I'm not surprised that
he feels responsible.
08:32.800 --> 08:35.030
Then which pills caused it?
08:35.030 --> 08:38.010
She lived in the Second Kowloon Walled City
three years ago.
08:38.010 --> 08:41.680
The name of the drug that killed her
has been deleted from all the records.
08:41.910 --> 08:43.420
I see.
08:43.420 --> 08:48.480
If that's the case, then I have a
strange connection with Reiko Kujirai.
08:48.480 --> 08:51.940
Her loved ones must hate Hebinuma for this.
08:51.940 --> 08:53.240
I bet.
08:53.240 --> 08:56.450
Well, the one they should hate is your dad.
08:58.050 --> 08:58.990
On top of that,
08:58.990 --> 09:03.690
he picked the demolition of the Second
Kowloon Walled City as your first job
09:03.690 --> 09:06.450
to squash your birth data and you-know-what.
09:07.240 --> 09:11.750
Yes, he's truly a detestable man.
09:22.090 --> 09:23.420
It's empty?
09:29.230 --> 09:30.060
Oh!
09:35.810 --> 09:38.940
I love Lolita fashion.
09:41.400 --> 09:45.460
In any case, this is too hot.
09:46.700 --> 09:49.320
Not an outfit for this Kowloon.
09:51.590 --> 09:51.710
Master
09:51.710 --> 09:51.840
Master
09:51.720 --> 09:54.470
Yeah, yeah, I got it.
09:51.840 --> 09:51.960
Master
09:51.960 --> 09:54.460
Master
09:54.760 --> 09:56.970
Hello, this is Xiaohei.
09:57.330 --> 09:59.330
I just entered Kowloon.
09:59.930 --> 10:01.860
I'll start my investigation now.
10:03.880 --> 10:07.230
Yes, of course. I'll report everything.
10:07.700 --> 10:08.860
Master.
10:12.540 --> 10:17.250
Don't underestimate me as a lonely old man.
10:19.630 --> 10:22.230
It would be a bore to go straight home.
10:22.230 --> 10:24.410
Hey, you wanna go to karaoke?
10:24.410 --> 10:25.820
Oh, sure.
10:37.000 --> 10:42.250
Is it true that I don't exist in this world?
10:42.250 --> 10:46.510
Because I can smell and taste things.
10:46.770 --> 10:50.000
In here, I am visible.
10:50.570 --> 10:54.760
Is it possible that the
delivery guy was the anomaly?
10:57.250 --> 11:03.950
Yaomay... what if she can't see me
or Kowloon when she comes back?
11:05.020 --> 11:07.170
Oh, check it out.
11:07.170 --> 11:08.960
The debris has been mostly cleared.
11:09.800 --> 11:13.610
All that's left is to fill
up that gaping hole.
11:13.610 --> 11:14.470
Hmm?
11:15.200 --> 11:16.200
What's wrong?
11:18.130 --> 11:20.860
You've been awfully quiet.
11:20.860 --> 11:22.220
A stomachache or something?
11:25.240 --> 11:27.780
Kudo-san, do you remember what you told me?
11:27.780 --> 11:28.350
Hmm?
11:29.380 --> 11:30.740
You told me...
11:31.120 --> 11:33.990
You told me not to go anywhere.
11:35.200 --> 11:35.990
Right.
11:36.790 --> 11:39.020
Why did you say that?
11:39.960 --> 11:41.740
Why? I mean...
11:42.240 --> 11:44.240
What about you?
11:44.240 --> 11:48.740
Will you promise that you won't go anywhere?
11:51.450 --> 11:55.680
I... don't know where I should go.
11:56.370 --> 11:57.390
But...
12:00.550 --> 12:05.030
If you'll be by my side,
I won't need anything more.
12:17.560 --> 12:19.060
Don't worry.
12:19.060 --> 12:21.160
I will always be here.
12:26.090 --> 12:31.440
Promise me... that you won't go anywhere.
12:31.440 --> 12:33.200
Yes. I do.
12:34.300 --> 12:35.510
I promise.
12:36.980 --> 12:41.300
Even if this world is empty.
12:45.160 --> 12:47.300
I ran away from home six months ago.
12:48.000 --> 12:50.890
It was right after my plastic surgery,
12:50.890 --> 12:56.640
so I looked for a place where no one
knew me and ended up in Kowloon.
12:57.770 --> 13:00.580
In Kowloon, I met Reko-pon.
13:00.580 --> 13:04.150
She taught me about an absolute self.
13:05.500 --> 13:09.290
I wish I'd worn those earrings.
13:13.460 --> 13:15.840
Huh? Insufficient funds?!
13:16.950 --> 13:20.950
But I topped it up yesterday!
13:23.960 --> 13:25.970
Yaomay
13:24.520 --> 13:25.960
Here we go.
13:26.490 --> 13:27.330
Hello?
13:28.480 --> 13:30.650
Gwen-kun, help me!
13:30.650 --> 13:33.220
My money has disappeared!
13:31.480 --> 13:34.130
I hate to tell you this,
13:34.130 --> 13:37.980
but money earned in Kowloon
seems to disappear outside.
13:38.380 --> 13:40.980
Since Kowloon doesn't exist anymore...
13:40.980 --> 13:42.750
You get it, right?
13:44.060 --> 13:45.110
I see.
13:45.550 --> 13:46.670
I'm fine!
13:47.740 --> 13:50.290
Why don't you use my money for now?
13:50.290 --> 13:51.820
Tell me your account number.
13:51.820 --> 13:53.140
I'll send you money online.
13:53.140 --> 13:55.390
Thank you!
13:57.360 --> 13:58.740
Will this be enough?
14:00.050 --> 14:02.580
Are you sure I can borrow this much?!
14:02.580 --> 14:05.420
My former job paid outrageously well.
14:05.420 --> 14:06.770
Feel free to use it.
14:07.760 --> 14:07.880
Gwen
14:07.880 --> 14:08.010
Gwen
14:08.010 --> 14:08.630
Gwen
14:08.940 --> 14:12.350
Gwen-kun sure is a mystery.
14:12.350 --> 14:14.880
Well, I'll hear more about
it when I get back.
14:15.820 --> 14:18.030
Now, off to investigate Kowloon!
14:20.430 --> 14:21.890
The Second Kowloon?
14:22.290 --> 14:24.600
It was demolished three years ago, right?
14:25.110 --> 14:27.070
What's the point of going
somewhere like that?
14:27.290 --> 14:31.050
I have no interest in
urban legends like that.
14:33.150 --> 14:37.030
Everyone says the same thing
as Gwen-kun and the pizza guy.
14:37.700 --> 14:41.440
Does it... truly not exist?
14:42.370 --> 14:48.700
Don't tell me Kowloon and Reko-pon
will be gone when I get back...
14:50.660 --> 14:52.740
Young lady, what's the matter?
14:52.740 --> 14:55.480
Kowloon! Kowloon is...!
14:55.480 --> 14:56.440
Kowloon?
14:56.440 --> 14:58.730
The name takes me back.
14:58.730 --> 15:01.300
I used to live in the
Second Kowloon, you know?
15:02.550 --> 15:03.870
Really?!
15:03.870 --> 15:04.900
You bet!
15:05.190 --> 15:08.500
I was sad to see it go.
15:08.500 --> 15:10.520
I lived there forever, you know?
15:10.870 --> 15:14.530
Did you see it getting demolished?
15:14.530 --> 15:16.620
Of course I did.
15:16.620 --> 15:18.910
All the residents did.
15:18.910 --> 15:25.150
Wh-What if I tell you it still exists,
and people live there?
15:25.150 --> 15:29.540
Huh? Are you into online urban legends?
15:29.540 --> 15:32.070
My grandkid is also into that stuff.
15:32.070 --> 15:37.850
Talking about the illusion of the
Second Kowloon Walled City.
15:38.470 --> 15:41.640
That place had a lot of rumors
going on to begin with.
15:41.640 --> 15:45.860
Some say it was demolished in
a Hebinuma Group cover-up.
15:45.860 --> 15:47.590
A Hebinuma cover-up?!
15:47.590 --> 15:48.570
About what?
15:50.600 --> 15:55.280
You never know who's listening,
so I can't tell you.
15:55.530 --> 15:58.450
If you want to know, ask those
people on the internet.
15:59.140 --> 16:00.380
Thank you!

Nice to meet you, Shell.
16:16.980 --> 16:19.060
Weasel has entered the chat
Shell has entered the chat
16:19.060 --> 16:22.420
Are you one of those who can
see the Second Kowloon?
16:23.040 --> 16:25.250
Nice to meet you, Weasel.
16:25.250 --> 16:26.370
I can see it.
16:26.370 --> 16:29.140
I actually live in the Second Kowloon.
16:29.550 --> 16:33.450
Not the ruin, but the actual Second Kowloon.
16:33.450 --> 16:45.000
Weasel> I see
16:35.000 --> 16:38.770
Can you see the Second Kowloon too?
16:38.770 --> 16:41.540
Unfortunately, I can't.
16:41.540 --> 16:47.380
But I know that the Second Kowloon
Walled City exists again.
16:47.380 --> 16:50.960
I've never met its residents before,
so I'm shocked.
16:52.540 --> 16:57.290
You can't see it, but you believe me?
16:57.290 --> 17:00.160
If you're just here to enjoy rumors,
I'm leaving.
17:01.790 --> 17:05.220
I want to prove the existence
of the Second Kowloon.
17:06.800 --> 17:08.980
Yes! Me too!
17:09.290 --> 17:12.210
I want to prove it for my dear friend.
17:12.210 --> 17:14.990
But I don't know how.
17:14.990 --> 17:18.220
The Second Kowloon was
demolished three years ago.
17:18.220 --> 17:20.130
That's a fact.
17:20.130 --> 17:25.070
But I'm guessing that it was
somehow recreated after that.
17:27.100 --> 17:32.890
To prove its existence, we need to
find out why it exists.
17:33.180 --> 17:36.390
Why? I have no idea.
17:36.390 --> 17:40.880
Does anything feel strange,
living in Kowloon?
17:41.460 --> 17:42.730
Strange...
17:43.140 --> 17:50.360
It is strange for people who should be
dead to be living just as they used to...
17:51.150 --> 17:54.150
Weasel> It's okay, take your time
17:55.170 --> 17:59.840
I'll tell you more, but I don't
know if you'll believe me.
17:59.840 --> 18:03.090
And why do you want
to prove its existence?
18:03.090 --> 18:05.910
For what reason? For what purpose?
18:08.320 --> 18:10.660
For my dear friend.
18:11.000 --> 18:15.680
My friend might not be able
to exist outside of Kowloon.
18:15.680 --> 18:18.550
I see. That sounds complicated.
18:18.550 --> 18:20.040
Let's review.
18:21.530 --> 18:23.370
Does this sum it up?
18:21.530 --> 18:35.940
Weasel> - Dead people are living
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h in the current Kowloon as if they
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h never died. (Ex. Shell's Friend)
18:21.530 --> 18:35.940
- Nobody around them seems to question this.
- Some are duplicates of still-living people.
- Both versions can't coexist.
- When the original enters Kowloon,
\h\h\hthe copy(?) is the one that disappears.
18:23.370 --> 18:25.160
I suppose so.
18:25.160 --> 18:28.250
Another friend of mine told me about this.
18:28.250 --> 18:30.350
He's an outsider who can also see it.
18:30.680 --> 18:35.540
He said he used to live in Kowloon,
and he used to have a doppelgänger.
18:37.060 --> 18:39.460
Am I an anomaly?
18:40.100 --> 18:43.370
I can see that the demolition of
the Second Kowloon really happened.
18:43.790 --> 18:45.890
But I can't accept it.
18:46.460 --> 18:50.690
Have you spoken to anyone
else who can see it?
18:51.440 --> 18:55.280
I have. I'm sure we can
find more if we look.

18:55.720 --> 19:00.000
There's another person who seems
to know the mystery of Kowloon.
19:00.000 --> 19:01.230
And who is this?
19:01.230 --> 19:03.520
My friend's coworker.
19:03.520 --> 19:07.220
He was engaged to a woman who's now deceased
but looked exactly like my friend.
19:09.230 --> 19:11.320
This is so complicated.
19:11.320 --> 19:13.870
I can't keep them straight.
19:13.870 --> 19:17.480
But because there are
other people who can see it,
19:17.480 --> 19:20.270
it's too early to say
that you are an anomaly.
19:20.270 --> 19:22.740
Maybe it's Kowloon that's an anomaly.
19:23.460 --> 19:27.180
I started living in Kowloon six months ago,
19:27.180 --> 19:30.870
but until I heard this from my friend,
everything was normal...
19:31.470 --> 19:32.290
Wait.
19:33.720 --> 19:38.340
Six months ago, I was discharged from the
clinic and looking for a place to stay.
19:38.340 --> 19:39.820
It was March.
19:40.230 --> 19:44.260
It was still cold at night, so I wanted
to find a place before sunset.
19:44.710 --> 19:47.230
And I found the lights of Kowloon.
19:47.770 --> 19:51.180
I hurried to enter Kowloon, and...
19:57.530 --> 20:00.850
There is something strange
about living in Kowloon!
20:01.500 --> 20:04.280
It's always midsummer in Kowloon.
20:04.740 --> 20:05.980
That's right.
20:05.980 --> 20:08.660
The thing that felt strange
the moment I left Kowloon...
20:09.330 --> 20:12.560
There was an autumn sky above,
and I didn't hear cicadas.
20:13.420 --> 20:15.240
It's the same in town.
20:15.240 --> 20:17.920
The only thing that hasn't changed
is Gene Terra in the sky.
20:19.180 --> 20:23.040
I've only worn summer clothes
since coming to Kowloon.
20:23.040 --> 20:25.500
Because every day is a hot summer day.
20:25.500 --> 20:30.550
That may be an important key to
proving the existence of Kowloon.
20:30.550 --> 20:32.270
Anything else?

Oh! I heard this in town,
20:39.780 --> 20:42.970
but do you know of a rumor that
says a Hebinuma Group cover-up
20:42.970 --> 20:45.740
was part of the reason for the demolition
of the Second Kowloon?
20:46.030 --> 20:51.030
I don't know what they're covering up,
but this is what I've heard.
20:51.300 --> 20:52.560
In Kowloon...
20:55.350 --> 20:57.650
There's something like that in Kowloon?
20:58.800 --> 21:00.930
I'll check it out when I return!
21:01.930 --> 21:04.050
Oh, look at the time.
21:04.050 --> 21:07.800
I'll stay in Hong Kong for the night and return
to Kowloon first thing in the morning.
21:07.800 --> 21:10.850
Do you think we could exchange
contact information?
21:11.730 --> 21:12.750
Sure.
21:13.960 --> 21:17.060
I'll get back before Reko-pon
goes to work and tell her.
21:17.060 --> 21:18.820
And Gwen-kun too!
21:21.130 --> 21:23.060
You dropped this.
21:24.100 --> 21:25.560
Oh, thanks.
21:28.070 --> 21:29.970
You can have it, if you like.

I'm back! Can I see you now?
Gwen-kun's here too!
21:49.480 --> 21:50.970
Yaomay!
21:55.840 --> 21:57.480
Where are you going?
21:57.480 --> 22:00.720
To see Yaomay before going to work.
22:01.180 --> 22:02.800
What time is it?
22:02.800 --> 22:03.980
Six o'clock.
22:03.980 --> 22:05.490
So early...
