And now you think you're poking

around inside her?

What kind of a quack's school is that?

I'm getting on the phone.

It's despicable!

In fact, f*** the phone.

I'll go there in person.

Dr. Kashiwabuchi.

Yes?

What is it?

Sorry, nothing.

Sir.

May I dissect my sub ject alone?

Why?

The others are making such a mess.

No, you can't.

It's our first attempt.

There are bound to be mistakes.

What's the matter?

What's wrong.

Nothing.

Today we will observe

the facial muscles.

Take off the head covers.

Where're we heading?

Hiroshi.

What would it be like

to smash into something?

Would it hurt?

I remembered the dream I had.

You hate me!

Well, why then?

You've not made love to me yet. Why?

Is there someone else?

Is there?

Dancing?

She never danced when she was alive.

Your memory is still mixed up.

It isn't a memory.

I was there with her.

Not a memory of myself.

I mean the real me. I was there.

And what kind of "dance" was it?

The one that Ryoko did.

You make sure you take good care

of Ryoko's body.

If not, the school will be in trouble.

And I'll kill you.

I carry a big knif e all the time.

Hey.

My wif e is ill.

You should keep coming round.

Tell us about your time with Ryoko.

I'm going now.

Do you have to?

But where do you go?

I'll see you again.

Stay with me a little more.

But we can't, right?

Hiroshi!

I'll come again soon.

What is it?

May we be moved to another group?

Why?

It's just that...

Mr. Takagi?

Yes.

The other 3 haven't complained.

It's just a matter of time.

What?

What's your problem?

Mr. Takagi, put your gloves on.

Mr. Takagi.

Sir, I think there's an operation scar

here on the head.

I see.

And a blood clot on the other side.

That could be the direct cause.

A gradual hemorrhage, probably.

Do you think

she regained consciousness?

Between the operation and the

blood clot?

It's quite possible.

Our 4-month dissection program,

like the rainy season, will end soon.

Make sure your inspection

has been detailed and thorough.

You're making fine progress.

I suppose studying hands-on

helps you remember.

I guess.

That's good.

I'm happy f or you.

But try not to get too absorbed.

Dr. Kashiwabuchi was a little worried.

You're becoming more distant

as time goes by.

Dad...

...when I saw her on the

dissection table...

I couldn't understand at all.

But now I know much more.

It's like... she made her own way there.

Hiroshi.

Please come back to us.

Ryoko?

You strangle me too.

Grab me!

Please, Hiroshi.

You want to die, right?

Let's do it together!

Strangle me!

Strangle me!

Do you have to go?

I'll come back soon.

No.

No! No!

Please don't go.

What's the matter?
