Apartment 1303 Page #3

she'd head straight home.

It was like she didn't want to mix

with people very much.

She'd never come to company

parties or events.

I never knew she was looking

after her mother or anything.

Her mother always made her a lunch,

and she'd go out

on the roof and eat alone.

I don't think she had, like,

a friend or anyone like that.

A boyfriend?

I really doubt that.

But suddenly she surprised everyone

by saying she was going to get

her ears pierced. I remember

how happy she seemed then.

After she separated

from her husband,

Sugiuchi Sachiko apparently

lived a pretty wild life.

The mother seems

to have been an alcoholic.

When she was drunk,

there was no stopping her,

and in the end

she had gone completely crazy.

She abused her daughter

Yukiyo her whole life.

Even made her eat dog food,

it would seem.

That's horrible.

Including the mother, Sugiuchi Sachiko,

six people have died in Unit 1303.

That's in only three years.

It's too many people to clear

it all away under coincidence.

Miss Midorigawa,

do you think there's any chance your

younger sister committed suicide?

No. Definitely not.

Of course not.

Any way you look at it,

it's not natural that any of the women

who died here

would have committed suicide.

But that's what the police

have called it.

There's absolutely no evidence

of a mishap or foul play.

As far as the police are concerned,

there's no other conclusion

to draw but suicide.

I found this in my sister's apartment,

but I don't think it's hers.

You can have it.

Fine.

MIDORIGAWA:

I'm back.

Mother?

Mother!

What are you doing?!

Mariko, give Sayaka back.

Mother!

Stop it! Let go!

She's all alone in that room, she says.

It hurts, she says.

It's raining and she's cold, she says.

I got some blankets ready.

You've got to go out there.

You've got to go out there for her!

Mother, please!

Stop this!

Sayaka!

Sayaka!

Mother, Sayaka's not here anymore.

- She's dead.

- No! Give Sayaka back!

Mother...

I'm still here.

Why won't you see me?

I'm just as hurt as you are.

We can weep and wail all we want,

but it still won't bring Sayaka back.

You've always been that way.

What?

Always blaming me, always critical...

that's why I hate you.

Why?

Why would you say such a thing?

That's awful!

That's awful, Mother.

The Lamentation of Unit 1303:

The Love-Hate Hell of a Mother

Daughter alone by the Sea

Half a year later she was dead.

With the corpse of her mother beside her,

what was the daughter thinking?

Now we know the hair-raising truth,

sought since the incident occurred.
