[umee]_Shiki_-_12.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
O flower, parched in the light of dawn,
reaching for the unfallen rain,
fall into a wakeless sleep.
Someone calls out softly for a paradise of darkness.
Is it a lie or a dream?
Either way, it's already lost.
What do you gain by putting forth your heart?
Looking through those eyes,
life is foolish and fleeting enough to snatch away.
Will today be the day you grieve the end
which comes to us all?
The calendula which sings of the abyss
silently blooms full.
Hatred and sadness
are bound together in those eyes.
The calendula which sings of demise
is watered by solitude,
reaching for the unfallen rain,
fall into a wakeless sleep.
All the memories I have about this village have Tohru in them.
You're trying to hunt us.
Their deaths are terrible, but people's deaths aren't?!
Shiki... That's good.
That sounds very nice.
I like it!
There's no doubt that Mr. Kirishiki is alive.
Thursday, October 6, Butsumetsu
I'm the only one working at the village office during the day now.
Yoshikazu Tanaka, Kaori and Akira's Father
Mr. Ishida, the Public Health Officer, went missing,
and the others have resigned and moved.
Even the Chief fell sick and is still absent.
The death reports continue to grow at an accelerated rate.
Many people are moving away without even taking the time to report it.
If this keeps up, will this village become deserted?
Hello.
Those two temps were hired to fill the vacancies.
Good morning.
Hello.
For some reason, they only come in at night.

That Evening, Same Day
Natsuno!
We were worried because we couldn't reach you yesterday.
What a relief it was to get your call.
Did something happen?
No...
What about you guys?
There definitely was!
Today, I finally...
Everyone, listen!
About all the villagers dying...
Are you talking about that Risen stuff?
Yeah.
That creepy old hag from Mizuguchi marched into Kanemasa.
"The Kanemasa people are Risen!
Be gone!"
But she went home after being told off by the family at Kanemasa, right?
She was the one cast away!
I couldn't say anything else.
Yuuki, I wonder if the Kanemasa people aren't Risen after all.
Leave the village.
Get away from this village right away.
What do you mean?
Yuuki!
Natsuno... That's not what I think it is, right?
They may be planning to turn this place into a village of the Risen.
We no longer know how many people have really died since summer.
Those who moved out are probably dead too.
And then, those who died, rise.
Sotoba Village was shut off from the outside world from the start.
Outsiders wouldn't notice even if all the villagers were replaced by Risen.
That's why they chose this village.
You guys are no exception.
I was attacked,
which means that you guys could also be attacked today.
That's why you need to run away.
No...
I don't want to.
Me neither...
You probably don't have time to hesitate.
What about you, Natsuno?
There are still things I need to do.
I'll help you!
I'll do whatever I can!
No.
It's too dangerous for you.
Even if we run away, it's not like things would improve.
It's better than staying here.
But I don't want to!
We can't just leave you here when you're in this condition.
We won't run away!
You'll regret it.
I'd rather regret staying here than regret running away.
Okay.
But don't ever come near me again.
Yuuki?
The next time I see you, I may not be myself anymore.
Got it?
It was they day before yesterday that Tohru came.
If he had come yesterday, too,
I probably couldn't have moved around like this.
I never thought anemia would be this tough.
I wonder why he didn't show up.
Out of a sense of guilt?
How odd.
When I saw Tohru in the coffin after his death,
he looked like something different.
But this thing in front of me right now...
This thing that's hesitant to attack me
is just like the Tohru I remember.
I'm right here.
This kind of thing works, huh?
What's the matter?
Are you afraid of something like this?
How do you feel when you see this?
Or were you afraid of it even before you died?
Natsuno...
I told you not to call me by my first name!
Can't we coexist?!
Do you really have to attack people no matter what?!
It's not possible!
If you guys explain the reason in a proper manner,
there should be some people who'd share their blood!
If we wait a little, the amount of blood will go back to normal, so...
There's no reason to kill them, is there?!
You can't understand!
If we could solve things like that, we wouldn't need to attack people in the first place!
Everyone is reluctant to do it at first.
Some fear the sin of thinking about killing people.
Others fear being punished for killing people.
But once they realize that they won't be punished for killing people,
they get used to the sin right away.
The sin that they think of people as their food...
People don't eat a live pig by slicing off its flesh little by little.
Aren't I right?
If crosses work, this should work too, shouldn't it?
D-Don't do it...
Natsuno...
You play dirty!
Act more like a vampire!
Don't be just like you were before you died!
Natsuno?
If you get hungry, you can suck my blood.
Let's think of a good solution together.
Until then, if you have to kill others, then suck my blood instead!
And then, let's go somewhere Tatsumi and the others can't find us.
It's impossible!
We can't escape from Tatsumi!
So suck my blood, Tohru!
Tohru!
It is in our nature as shiki to hunt people.
We're hostile to people.
We can't help it because we'll die if we don't attack people.
Shiki, huh?
How nice it'd be if we didn't have to attack people.
We didn't become creatures like this because we wanted to.
Tohru.
But...
we get really hungry.
It's a very, very empty hunger.
No one can bear it...
...so they come to the point that they think nothing of killing people.
Friday, October 7, Taian
Sotoba Village is way out in BFE,
but this area, Yamairi, is even duller, being located at the edge of the village.
All the residents here died this summer.
Everyone has long forgotten about this place.
Since Mr. Tatsumi destroyed the road to this area with dynamite,
it's become even more isolated.
This is so depressing.
I'm being driven even further into the boonies.
To think that I'm stuck in a vampire village deep in the mountains...
We're called "shiki," or I heard.
The Kirishikis don't fancy the term "vampire."
Say, have you given up on attacking Natsuno Yuuki?
Who gives a crap.
By the way, you're free now, right?
Yeah.
Do you want me to attack someone?
Your friend, Kaori Tanaka.
Attack Kaori?
Her father.
Kaori's dad?
It seems that Kaori has gotten close to Natsuno Yuuki lately.
Kaori and Yuuki?!
They share secrets and are standing up to us hand-in-hand.
If attacking a member of your friend's family bothers you, I'll ask someone else.
I'll do it.
Leave it to me.
Natsuno, shouldn't you see the doctor?
I'm fine.
I haven't had enough sleep, that's all.
But...
I said I'm fine.
So many things have happened...
I'm just exhausted.
If you say so...
Morning, Same Day
Azusa...
Yeah?
Well... there's a rumor that some new kind of infectious disease
is spreading through the village.
And?
It might be possible that Natsuno is...
You know...
Think about it carefully.
A new kind of infectious disease is rare, even globally.
And yet, in such a vast world,
it's happening in this village in Japan?
Do you believe such an unscientific idea?
Well, Ozaki said so, so...
He's only a doctor in a rural village.
It's not an announcement by a research institute in a big city.
Yeah...
Never mind.
But what if it's really true?
Oh?
If I remember correctly, you're from the atelier?
Good day to you.
You were in front of our house the other day, weren't you?
Well... I feel bad about what happened to you.
I never thought that I'd be treated like a corpse.
You moved here from a big city, right?
Then you'd understand how I feel, would you not?
Yeah...
They say that an epidemic might be the reason for so many people dying recently.
To be honest, I think that's doubtful.
What do you mean?
A new kind of infectious disease...
That's something we hear about only in movies, right?
Don't you think it's almost like a delusion?
Or maybe I should say that it's almost like the superstitions in a rural area.
You don't take a story like that in seriousness, do you?
N-No...
Splendid.
Just as one would expect of someone from the city.
What a relief it is to know a gentleman such as yourself resides in the neighborhood.
Farewell.
Hello!
Kids again...
Hello!
May I help you?
U-Um...
Is Natsuno home?
Who are you?
We're the Tanakas.
We're his friends.
I've never heard of you.
U-Um, Natsuno seemed sick yesterday, so we came to see him.
He said that he'd skip school today, so he hasn't even gotten out of bed yet.
Maybe some other day.
Dad...
Let them in.
Thank you.
Why'd you come?
How could we leave you be?
Look at this.
I don't know if these work against the Risen,
but I think they might do the trick.
We'll put lots of them up in your room.
I don't intend to die either.
I'll definitely leave this village.
I've always felt that way.
In order to live in a big city again, I've been studying for college exams as well.
That's right!
Let's leave, Natsuno!
Let's wait for the right chance!
We should be able to find an opening at some point!
Wha—
What the hell is this?
Natsuno...
You did it again?
No...
It must be those kids.
Do they really think that these things will improve Natsuno's condition?
The tendency to be superstitious, which is often seen in rural areas...
Risen...
Epidemics...
Curses...
I've had enough.
Saturday, October 8, Shakkou
Hello!
It's the Tanakas from yesterday!
Hello?
Yes?
Um... we came to check up on Natsuno again.
Please come in.
Th-Thank you.
Natsuno's mom seems kinda gloomy.
Hey!
Natsuno!
How're you feeling?
Natsuno...
It's gotten worse!
He looks the same way Megumi did.
Don't say things like that!
But...
Could you leave?
As you can see, Natsuno isn't in any condition to talk with you.
I'll give these back to you.
I don't want you to bring him such strange things.
Well... Um...
P-Please let us nurse him!
Could you let us stay with him overnight tonight?
We won't cause you any trouble.
Please!
P-Please!
We're his family. We're nursing him.
Stop saying senseless things and just go home!
No.
Not even in a million years!
Akira...
I'm not going home!
Don't fight with him.
But...
If we can't be inside the house, then we'll just have to watch from outside.
Outside?
In the middle of the night?
Are you scared?
Fine.
We won't ask you anymore.
But remember this.
We're the only ones who know how to save Natsuno.
If you don't do anything, he'll be killed.
Killed?
It's the Risen!
Akira!
All you do is get in our way.
It's as if you're trying to kill him!
Let's go!
Come on!
We'll save Natsuno for sure!
Goodbye!
The Risen...
I guess it can't be helped...
They're superstitious rural kids.
I acted like a child too.
We need weapons!
We're gonna arm ourselves and put up an all-out fight!
I'll bring a spiked bat.
I-I'll bring a skillet.
Wait!
What?
I'm sorry about what just happened.
Since you were so serious about this matter, I gave it a little thought too,
thinking that you two might be right.
Everything makes sense if the Kanemasa people are Risen.
Then you believe us?
Yeah.
I think I'll stand watch at Natsuno's side all night tonight.
Really?
I promise.
It's a father's duty to protect his family,
so leave Natsuno to me.
I'll protect him from the Risen for sure.
Okay.
He's your son, so you protect him.
We'll leave these with you.
We think that the Risen are weak against sacred things like these.
That's reassuring.
If something happens, please call Yoshikazu Tanaka's house.
He's listed in the phone book.
Okay.
Thanks.
Let's go, Kaori.
In any case, why in the heck does everyone work only at night?
Oh, hi, Megumi.
Are you going somewhere this late at night?
Good evening, Mr. Tanaka!
I'm going to buy some juice.
It's dark, so watch your step, okay?
Okay!
What's this...
Something is odd.
That's right.
She died!
You should be careful as well, Mr. Tanaka.
Aren't you cold?
No...
I like this better.
I'm having some difficulty breathing, so...
Natsuno, if you're not doing well,
why don't I take you to a big hospital tomorrow?
It might be something psychological.
They'll probably give you medicine or something.
I can take your White Horse, too.
Don't get carried away.
Well then, I'll come and check on you from time to time.
Okay.

Enveloped in darkness, I snuff my breath.
Clad in the darkness, I suddenly grin.
It's just my imagination; no one knows you.
I'm just staring at the moon.
Ah, I haunt the endless night.
Ah, I just dream a dream of you.
Ah, I haunt the endless night.
Ah, I just dream a dream of you.
