Midnight Invitation Page #2

---

- Do you have milk?

- Yes

I'll have that

Ah, please warm it up

to 20.5 degrees Celsius

And Mr Tamura...

what shape is he in?

Well, he's still...

He's agreed to the exam.

I expect that was hard

He even said himself it's for the best

By the way, did you bring it?

Ah, yes

It's Junkichi, Shohei and Kazuo

who disappeared, in that order?

Yes

Tatsuo has a different surname?

The Tamura family had no children and

they adopted Tatsuo when he was small

Welcome home

Mother, this is Doctor Aizawa

- Glad to meet you

- I'm Aizawa

Thank you for helping Keiko

Please come in

- Is Tatsuo here?

- Not yet

At the bar earlier...

it was Ms Akashi?

You're old friends?

Yes

We study Japanese dance

under the same teacher

A really pretty lady

You're curious about her?

Yes

Is she married?

Five years ago she lost her husband

in a traffic accident

She said it had left her

a shell of her former self

Just as I thought...

Huh?

Ms Akashi just now, all the while,

had her hands clasped

That is, her right thumb was

placed on the left-hand thumb

It's not a good sign

It's a theory proposed by

the Spanish academic Jose Bons

He suggested that people who

clasp their hands in this way...

can be regarded as

very fatigued or aged

Dynamic people do the reverse.

In other words, like this

Even though

Ms Akashi is still young...

Well, it's a bit of a concern

OK, please feel free to speak

I'll sit behind but don't worry

When I was 8 years old,

I moved from my parents in Kumamoto...

to the Tamuras in Tokyo

Shortly after,

my father in Kumamoto died

Before that my mother had passed away

So I didn't return to Kumamoto

How were relations with your brothers?

I hardly saw my brothers

from Kumamoto and Numazu

But with my brother

in Mito it was different

We often met,

as I was at a Tokyo university

It felt like...

Kazuo was my only true kin

It must have been a shock

when he went missing

Not just that...

What is it?

The phone

The phone?

Yes, during the night

When I wake up,

the ringing has already stopped

It's happened numerous times

Maybe I'm imagining it

However, I'm certain it has rung

That indicates neurotic anxiety

I think it's down to

your brother's disappearance

Alright, please relax and

make yourself comfortable

Mr Tamura,

I will examine what caused

your brothers to disappear...

and eradicate your psychological trauma

Your cooperation is essential

Your brothers aren't here, so we

have to examine the psychological side

When you go to bed,

leave a notepad by your bed

Please write down your night dreams

and anything else that springs to mind

Freud?

No!

It's a test based on a theory of Daan
