「Rinkaku」 (輪郭)
The glass shattering effect.
Synopsis:
The episode starts with replaying Sakuragi death. Even Sakuragi’s mother died in an accident, which is why she ran out of the room. Rumors go around the school that one person that is related to Class 3, even family members or friends will die every month.
The nurse, Mizuno, says that her kid brother is also in the same school. Sakakibara asks if she knows about Misaki Mei and says that she is different from the rest of the class. Mizuno doesn’t know Mei but she’s going to get some information from her brother. She then says for both of them to be careful, which of course she doesn’t, since she knowingly walked into a.. I’ll save that for later.
While walking, Sakakibara see’s his classmate from 3, Ayano. From talking with her, we find out that tsundere, Izumi, is in the theater club. Since they are standing right next to a mini truck filled with large sheets of glass. A sheet of unstable glass is toppled over by the wind. Sakakibara pushes Ayano and himself out of the way before getting crushed and Ayano reacts by screaming “NO no no, I don’t want to Die!”, thinking of the curse of course.
Koichi then returns to the creepy doll house. He see’s a young lady enter with an angry expression on her face. He follows and see’s no one is inside other than the old woman. The Shopkeeper lady repeats what she said last time which makes me think she’s dead or a programmed doll. Koichi goes downstairs and see’s Mei. he asks her if she was in school today to which replies she only goes when she “feels like it.”
She tells him that half of the students were not completely sure about the curse. Yet after Sakuragi’s death, all the students were completely sure about the curse. Even Mei.
Koichi then asks what happened to class 3. She replies saying that its better no one told him. As he was going to ask another question, a doll drops behind him and when he turns back, she’s is gone.
When he’s home, his aunt seems to have a bad headache. She can’t seem to recall things clearly. She then gets upset, and says she can’t stand that bird/crow.
Back at school, while Koichi is not in the classroom, Izumi and 2 other classmates talk about Sakuragi’s death being an accident or not. Then say that the new principal doesn’t know about the curse an only students and teachers do. When Koichi enters the class everyone stops talking and turn away, making it entirely obvious. They couldn’t just start talking about other random things not to make make suspicious.
After class, Koichi calls Teshigawara. He, Teshi and Izumi are in the school yard. Koichi starts questioning him about the curse since the months over.Tenshi says that he can’t say anything yet. Izumi tells him to drop it for now. Koichi then asks what did “its dangerous to mess with things that don’t exist.” mean. Izumi gets angry at Tenshi and at that moment Koichi gets a call from the nurse (Mizuno).
She asks if Misaki Mei exists to which his reply is yes. Mizuno continues saying that she spoke to her brother. When asked, he refused to talk about 26 years ago and last week’s incident. But when asked about Mei, her brother got scared and freaked out.
Mizuno then goes from the roof and goes toward the old elevator that already looked like it was about to snap any second. The elevator’s cables snap and Mizuno is dead.
Review:
Interesting episode. I expected Mizuno to die from the very start. And I had a feeling she was going to die by elevator. yes, her death was expected but it did make me shiver.
Reiko (Aunt) also is very suspicious. I also question all those crows too. The crow Koichi has always says “Why?” all the time. Something seems incredibly wrong about her. And why won’t she tell him how SHE survived 15 years ago in her time when SHE was in Class 3.
Why does that old woman say the same thing. Is she crazy or something..
The opening, I just noticed has some hits. I won’t say WHAT hints but hints that you should check out. (Another OP)
And in the next episode, Koichi will be told a little more of the story of 26 years ago, by the looks of the preview.
Rating: 8 out of 10.
Next Episode: 「Build limbs」 「Kakusan」 (拡散)
