Why did Megumi die?
Why did Megumi have to die?
Could someone die from a mere case of anemia?
How can someone die from just anemia?!
I won't know... until I examine her in detail.
I won't know until I do a complete examination.
It appeared as though it was simply anemia.
It looked like a simple case of anemia,
Even if that wasn't the case,
and even if it wasn't, I thought we had enough time to wait for the blood test results.
it looked like we could at least afford to wait until the blood test results came back.
Truthfully, I'm the one who's most shocked.
Actually, I'm the one who's shocked the most.
What would you like to do?
What would you like to do?
If possible, I'd like to suggest a pathological autopsy...
If it's alright, I'd like to suggest allowing a pathological autopsy to determine the cause of death.
in order to determine the cause of death in detail.
Are you kidding?!
No way!
Dear!
Honey!
If you want to hit me, I understand.
You want to hit me.
I'm sorry, but I can't allow an autopsy.
I understand how you feel.
She's just a young girl...
I'm sorry...
Please let her be...
But I can't allow the autopsy.
Time of death: 02:00.
She's a young girl.
Cause of death: acute heart failure.
Please leave her alone now.
Natsuno, where are you off to?
Okay then...
The Shimizu's funeral is at noon.
Time of death is approximately 2 AM.
I know. I'm coming.
The cause of death is acute heart failure.
This village is surrounded on three sides by mountains with momi trees.
Where're you going, Natsuno?
The mountain stream cuts through the village,
The funeral the Shimizus are holding starts at noon.
entrapping it along with the momi trees in a triangle, like the tip of a lance.
I know.
The population is a mere 1,300 people.
I'll be there.
It is a village that makes a living off of building wooden graves from momi trees.
This village is surrounded by mountains with momi fir trees on three sides.
Making these wooden graves has isolated the village from the outside world.
It lies alongside a mountain stream
It is a village engulfed by death.
and the momi fir woods confine it in a triangular shape like the tip of a harpoon.
Stop, Tarou!
It's a village with a population of only 1300,
Sorry about that, Natsuno-kun.
where people have been growing momi fir trees and making grave markers.
I just got him a bigger collar, so he slips out of it pretty quickly.
Those trees meant for the dead cut it off from the outside world.
Are your legs all right, Natsuno-kun? From your growth spurts, I mean.
The village is surrounded by death.
Please stop that.
Taro! Stop it!
I'm sorry, Natsuno.
I switched his collar to a bigger one just recently so he slips out of it easily.
Are your legs doing better, Natsuno?
You know, the growing pains?
Um... please stop that.
What?
What?
Calling me by my first name.
Calling me by my first name.
Oh, you don't like your name?
Oh, do you hate it?
I think it's a nice, refreshing name.
I always thought it was a unique name.
Your mom named you, didn't she?
Did your mom pick it?
No, it was my dad.
My dad did. It was the name of some old noble or something.
He says it was the name of a noble long ago.
Really? Your dad must be a romantic.
I see.
If he wasn't, we wouldn't have moved to a place like this!
Your dad must be a romantic.
Sorry, I just...
Otherwise we wouldn't have moved to a place like this.
Well, it really is in the middle of nowhere.
I'm sorry...
I didn't mean to put it like that.
I just...
It's all right. It's the truth.
Well, it's true that this village is in the middle of nowhere.
Hey there, Ricchan, good morning.
I didn't mean it like that.
Good morning!
That's okay. It's true.
I wonder if kids from the city have a hard timing adapting here?
Oh? Good morning, Ritsuko.
Are they dating?
Good morning.
No, they're not. She's with that Mutou kid, isn't she?
I wonder if kids from big cities can get used to life here.
Is something wrong?
Is she dating him?
I hate it.
No, she isn't.
I hate how everyone here gossips about one another.
She's dating the Mutous' son, isn't she?
Well, this is the countryside.
What's the matter?
A late-summer greeting card?
I don't like it
She must have re-written this again and again.
when everyone in the village gossips about everyone else.
"Midsummer Greeting Card..."
Huh?
Ah, I messed up again!
That's because this is the countryside.
Come on!
End of summer greeting card?
Megumi-chan...
She must've re-written it so many times.
Don't you ever feel like leaving this village?
Midsummer greeting...
The world never has enough nurses, so you wouldn't be unemployed.
I made a mistake again!
That's true.
Megumi!
But I'm still here, so no, I've never felt like it.
Don't you...
I live with my mom and sister.
want to leave the village?
There's a nationwide shortage of nurses, you know.
You won't have a problem finding a new job, right?
Yeah...
The fact that I'm still here means maybe I don't want to leave.
I live with my mother and my little sister.
I wonder what my sister will do...
I wonder what my sister will do...
It doesn't seem she'd leave, either.
I don't think she would either.
He came...
You came.
Megumi...
Megumi-chan, he came!
He came!
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much!
I'm Tanaka Kaori, one of Megumi's childhood friends.
What?
You're Yuuki Natsuno-san, right?
I'm Kaori Tanaka, I've been Megumi's friend since we were children.
You're Natsuno Yuuki, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you very much for coming to her funeral!
Thank you so much for coming to Megumi-chan's funeral. I know she's happy too.
I'm sure she's happy, too.
Would you please accept a memento she left behind?
Um... um...
Would you accept a keepsake for Megumi?
What?!
Why?
Why?
I wasn't really close to Shimizu or anything, so I can't accept it.
It's not like I was that close to her.
Well then, I'm going home now since it's hot.
I'm not going to accept anything like that.
Hey, Megumi's coffin will soon be carried out of—
It's hot. I'm heading home.
I don't have any obligation to attend her burial, so...
Wait! Megumi-chan's funeral procession is about to-
The poor Shimizus...
I don't have to attend it.
Yeah.
It must be hard for the Shimizu's.
Why on Earth did this happen so suddenly?
Yeah. How could this have happened so suddenly?
One of my relatives lost her child long ago, too.
I had a relative who lost a child long ago too.
Even children can die.
Even children can die.
I wonder what happened while she was missing.
What could have happened to her while she was missing?
She was fickle to begin with.
Well, she was quite whimsical, so maybe...
Could it be that...
Megumi-chan's gone.
Megumi's gone.
I wish everyone would mourn more for her.
People should mourn her death more.
It's horrible. Right, Megumi-chan?
How cruel, right, Megumi?
That hole will swallow her.
That hole... will swallow Megumi...
One day, it'll be my turn to be swallowed up.
Eventually, the day will come when it will swallow me, too.
One day, I'll also be...
One day, I too will be...
Who knows when.
I don't know when; it may be tomorrow, or it may be the day after.
It could be tomorrow, or the day after.
Megumi already died...
If Megumi-chan could die, even I...
so I might, too...
Auntie, Uncle!
Mrs. Shimizu! Mr. Shimizu!
I bought a present for Megumi-chan's upcoming birthday.
Megumi's birthday was coming up soon, so I already bought a present for her.
Could you bury it along with her?
Do you mind... if I put this with her?
Kaori!
Kaori!
They've got enough to deal with right now.
Don't say such things so suddenly!
I think it's okay.
Perhaps it would be alright.
You're her friend, aren't you?
They were friends, after all.
Go ahead and put it in there.
Go ahead and put it in.
I'm sure she'd be happy, too.
I'm sure Megumi-chan would be glad.
I'm sure she's happy, too.
I know she's happy too.
Would you accept a keepsake for Megumi?
Would you accept a memento she left behind?
Give me a break...
Come on already...
I bet she was able to enjoy her pure, innocent little crush like that...
She bathed in the joy of being all lovable and sweet in her unrequited love.
hoping that I'd accept her feelings someday.
And she hoped that one day I would return those feelings.
Everyone in this village is like that.
Everyone in this village is like that!
They selfishly assign roles to others,
They all make you play a part, forcing you to say and do whatever they please.
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much!
wanting them to say this or to do that.
It's not funny.
Give me a break.
Doctor, Megumi-chan's blood test results have come in.
Doc, we've got the results of Megumi's blood test.
Oh, they're here? Thanks.
Oh, they came in?
So it really was anemia?
Thanks.
Yeah. But not the normal iron deficiency kind.
Was it anemia as you thought?
I misdiagnosed her.
Yeah, but it's not regular iron deficiency anemia.
What?
I misdiagnosed.
I knew iron deficiency anemia is common for girls Megumi-chan's age.
What...?
That is, I thought she had microcytic anemia.
I thought Megumi had iron deficiency anemia, prevalent in young women.
However, roughly calculating her red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration,
In other words, I thought it was microcytic-hypochromic anemia.
and hematocrit level from the test results,
But a rough calculation of her red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, and hematocrit value
shows that her reticulocytes were multiplying as well.
shows an increase in the reticulocyte count as well.
It was actually normochromic anemia.
It was normocytic-normochromic anemia after all.
And her cause of death was?
So... what was the cause?
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
What?
What?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Normocytic-normochromic anemia can be caused by bleeding, hemolysis,
Normochromic anemia normally arises from hemorrhaging, hemolysis,
hypoplastic anemia, and secondary anemia.
or a secondary source such as aplastic anemia.
But Megumi had no visible external wounds nor major internal bleeding.
But in Megumi-chan's case, she had no outstanding external wounds,
And yet she died suddenly, so her body must've had a serious problem.
nor did she have any major internal bleeding.
But I can't figure out what it is.
Even so, her sudden death indicated that something must have been seriously wrong with her body.
If we had done an autopsy on her, then it probably would have been clear.
However, I don't know what it was.
Perhaps an autopsy could've answered it.
Doctor!
Doctor!
The family of Giichi, from Maruyasu Lumber, called.
We just received a call from the Maruyasu Lumbermill.
It seems Giichi might be dead.
They said they think Giichi-san has died.
Okay.
Understood. I'll head over there.
I'm on my way.
Fuki-san!
Fuki!
It's me, Tae! How are you feeling?
It's me, Tae!
So, Giichi-san suffered from acute renal failure?
How're you feeling?
Yeah. It's common for those his age
Then Giichi died of acute kidney failure?
to have all sorts of problems with their bodies.
Yeah.
He could have been done in by the heat wave.
People his age typically have problems here and there in their bodies.
Speaking of which, it looks like a summer cold is spreading around.
He might've broken down due to this fierce heat.
That's right.
Come to think of it, it seems like there's a summer cold going around.
They said that Gigorou-san and Hidemasa-san from Yamairi also had summer colds when they died.
Oh yeah, I remember hearing that Gigorou and Hidemasa from Yamairi had summer colds before their deaths.
I heard they died about a week before old Lady Mieko did.
What?
She told me herself when she came to pick up her blood pressure medicine.
I think it was about a week before old lady Mieko passed away.
It doesn't seem like they have fevers or anything.
She told me when she came to pick up high blood pressure medicine.
Their faces look blank, maybe from a summer cold or something.
It seems like neither of them have a fever.
Back then, nothing seemed to be wrong with her.
I wonder if it's what you call a summer cold.
Ozaki Clinic.
They've been in a daze.
Fuki-san... Gotouda Fuki-san is...
Old lady Mieko seemed to be just fine then.
She looked sluggish since last Thursday, and I even came yesterday again out of concern.
Hello, Ozaki Clinic.
She was depressed after the deaths of her son, Shuuji-kun, and her brother and sister-in-law.
Fuki is...
She was so sleepy and just stared blankly.
Fuki Gotouda is...
I thought it was just a summer cold.
She was looking fatigued on Thursday, so I checked up on her again yesterday.
Sleepy and staring blankly?
She was also feeling down as she lost her son Shuuji, her brother, and his wife.
But yesterday, her condition worsened!
She looked very sleepy and was in a daze.
I'm so sleepy...
We were wondering if it could be a summer cold.
I began worrying, so I told her to ask you to come.
Sleepy and in a daze...
And then...
But yesterday, she was a lot worse than on Thursday.
Do not call the doctor.
I'm sleepy...
I thought she was dazed the whole time, but she said that clearly.
Her temperature was over 101°F.
Did she really hate hospitals that much?
Very sleepy.
Any coughing?
I got worried and suggested we call you.
Then...
Don't call the doctor.
Although she was in a daze, she said that very clearly.
I wonder if she hated hospitals that much.
Was she coughing?
No.
No.
Did she go to the bathroom?
Did she go to the bathroom?
While I was here, she was bedridden.
She was always bedridden when I was there.
Did she have pain or trouble breathing?
Was she in any pain?
Not at all!
Of course not!
If she said something like that, I'd have asked you to come even if she refused!
If she was, I would have called you right away!
Doctor...
Doctor...
Doctor!
Doctor!
Hey, Mr. Ishida.
Is this Ishida-san?
Yes.
Yes.
I have a favor to ask.
I wanted to ask you something.
Yes?
I'd like to know how many people died in the village this August.
What? What on Earth is the matter?
I'm just a little concerned.
Thanks.
Junior Monk!
Yes?
Yes?
What's the matter?
I want to know the number of villagers who have died this August.
The village caretaker called and said Ms. Fuki Gotouda died from illness.
Why? Is something wrong?
Another death?
It was just on my mind. Please.
Death has struck us many times this summer.
Young priest!
I bet it'll continue to happen.
I'm coming. What's the matter?
About twenty years ago, many people died from accidents on the shore and illness.
I just got a call from our manager in the village,
Really?
they said Gotouda Fuki-san died from her illness!
Is that right?
Another one?
This is one absurd summer.
I can tell this is going to continue.
It reminds me of all the deaths twenty years ago from accidents near the waterfront and illnesses.
Wow, really?
Ozaki Clinic

Sorry to bother you during your lunch break, Toshio.
Sorry to bother you during your lunch break, Toshio.
That's okay.
Don't worry about it.
So what brought you here?
So, what's up?
Four elderly people died last summer, right?
Last summer, four elderly people passed away, correct?
You sure know your stuff.
You've done your research.
I'm a monk, so...
I work at the temple, you know.
And?
And?
This year, Shuuji, those three in Yamairi,
This year, it was Shuuji-san, the three from Yamairi, Megumi-chan, Giichi-san and Fuki-san.
Megumi, Giichi and Fuki...
That's seven deaths in just half a month.
Seven have died in the past two weeks.
Moreover, Shuuji-san was just 39 years old.
Moreover, Shuuji was 39,
And Megumi-chan was just 15. They both were far too young.
and especially in Megumi's case, she was only 15.
What did Fuki-san die from?
Too young to die.
Most likely acute renal failure.
What was the cause of Fuki's death?
And how did she really die?
Probably acute kidney failure.
I'm not sure.
What's the precise cause of death?
What about Shuuji-san?
I don't know.
They're all the same.
What about Shuuji?
Gigorou-san, Hidemasa-san, Mieko-san, Megumi-chan, Giichi-san and Fuki-san...
All of them.
Their deaths are a mystery.
Gigorou, Hidemasa, Mieko,
Have you ruled out an epidemic?
Megumi, Giichi, and Fuki...
Good evening!
The causes of their deaths are unknown.
Sorry for making you come all the way out here, Ishida-san.
Isn't it an epidemic?
Not at all.
Good evening.
So, what about that question I asked you earlier?
I'm sorry to ask you to come all this way.
No problem.
So, did you find anything on what I asked about earlier?
Ten.
Ten.
What...?
What? Ten?
Ten?
First were the three at Yamairi.
First, those three in Yamairi,
August 1st: Ookawa Gigorou and Murasako Hidemasa.

August 23rd, Ryuuji Shimizu.
There are some in here I don't recognize.
I wasn't aware of some of them.
They died in the general hospital in the neighboring town, Mizobe.
They died at the government hospital in the neighboring town of Mizobe.
Also, well...
So... um...
That's just too many in such a short period of time.
whatever the circumstances, to have this many die in such a short time is unusual.
What's going on in this village?
What on Earth is happening in this village?
I have a few ideas.
There're various possibilities.
First off, we have to assume the worst-case scenario and suspect an epidemic.
For now, we've decided to assume the worst case scenario and suspect an epidemic.
An epidemic?!
E-Epidemic?
It's the worst-case scenario.
We're only assuming the worst case scenario.
What kind of disease is it?
What kind of disease is it?
We aren't sure yet,
I can't say for sure yet.
but their symptoms are pretty much the same.
But all of their symptoms are consistent with each other.
It presents itself differently.
It starts out basic.
In Megumi's case, it started with anemia.
For Megumi-chan, it was her anemia.
For the others, they looked fatigued as though from the summer heat or a summer cold.
And I heard that the others became sluggish from the heat or summer colds.
So it starts with very minor symptoms,
It begins with trivial symptoms, but, within a few days, it suddenly turns worse.
and within a few days, it worsens drastically.
In fact yesterday, Nao-san from Yasumori Contracting came in for a physical.
In fact, Nao of Yasumori Construction came to see me yesterday.
I feel drowsy...
I feel fatigued.
My mother-in-law said I had to see the doctor no matter what...
My mother-in-law is forcing me to come to the clinic, so...
Her condition looked similar to Megumi-chan's, so I examined her carefully.
Since her case seemed similar to Megumi's,
Nao-san.
I examined her thoroughly.
Nao...
Yes.
Yes.
The detailed test results won't be in for a while.
The details of your examination won't be in for a few days,
So for today, I'll just give you some vitamin pills.
but I'll give you some vitamins today to start off.
Come back in three days.
Come back again in three days.
But if your condition worsens even a little, come see me again tomorrow.
But if you feel even a little worse today, come in tomorrow as well.
Okay?
Okay?
Okay.
Yes.
Nao, huh?
Nao-san, huh?
Does this mean that she was infected by Giichi of the Yasumoris' head family?
Could she have caught it from Giichi-san of the Yasumori's main branch?
If an epidemic really is the cause, that is.
Only if it's really an epidemic.
This is terrible!
This is just terrible! It's not possible!
This is outrageous!
In any case, we have far too little information.
In any case, we still don't have enough information.
We have to gather more.
We have to gather more.
We can't make a big fuss about it before we know if it really is an epidemic.
We can't proclaim anything until we know for sure if it's an epidemic.
I'll ask the surviving families casually.
I'll ask the surviving family members off-handedly.
With any luck, we might be able to figure out the path of infection.
If all goes well, we may be able to determine the source of infection.
I-I'll make a flyer telling people that if they have symptoms differing from a summer cold or fatigue
I'll make some leaflets, telling people to visit the doctor
they should see a doctor.
if they feel anything even slightly like a summer cold or exhaustion.
Also, I'll let you know if death certificates signed by someone other than you come in to the office!
Also, I'll notify you of any new death certificates that arrive at the town hall.
I'll work quickly to identify the cause of their deaths.
I'll try and identify the source of all this.
I'll find out what it is that is killing the villagers for sure.
I'll figure out what's killing the villagers no matter what!
I'm not gonna let it trample on my village anymore!
I won't let it trample on my village any more!
Why...?
Why?
Why did I start closing the blinds again?
Why did I start shutting the screen again?
