[first lines]
Mei Misaki : [Friday, May 1, 1998. Mei Misaki was elected to become the nonexistent student] I don't want to... If I said that, then you didn't do that?
Professor Kubodera : Of course you have all the right to refuse. However, if the disaster begins...
Mei Misaki : Fine, I will.
Yukari Sakuragi : Ehh... What will the teachers do outside of class three?
Professor Kubodera : They will cooperate to the extent of their abilities. However, you should not discuss this matter with anyone outside the class.
Yuuya Mochizuki : Not even with our family?
Professor Kubodera : The rules say we should not talk about it.
-
Kouichi Sakakibara : But... If that rule is so important, why they didn't tell me that before?
Mei Misaki : You've already spoken to me. that made it difficult for them to address the issue.
Kouichi Sakakibara : Hey, there's something else I want to ask: Is there any reason why your desk is the only old in the class?
Mei Misaki : It's part of the rules. I guess it must have some purpose to complete the spell.
-
Kouichi Sakakibara : Are you always like...?
Mei Misaki : Like what?
Kouichi Sakakibara : The way you talk to your mother. Almost I would say you are two strangers under one roof.
Mei Misaki : We have always treated like that each other. How is your family?
Kouichi Sakakibara : I have no mother. She died when I was born.
Mei Misaki : I see. Well, this is normal with my mother. I'm just one of her dolls.
Kouichi Sakakibara : But... You're her daughter, you're her flesh and blood.
Mei Misaki : I may be her flesh and blood, but I'm not real.
-
Kouichi Sakakibara : So... Now I know the class three secret... But... How can you accept that they are using you to complete the spell?
Mei Misaki : There is no other way. Just only I could be. If it had not been me, I should have done like everyone else and treat another person as if he did not exist. It is better that I'm the one that is ignored.
-
Kouichi Sakakibara : Thank you. Be careful back to your home.
Mei Misaki : I'll be fine.
[Taking off her patch]
Mei Misaki : I showed you this once, right?
[Kouichi nods]
Mei Misaki : I lost my left eye when I was four. Was due to a malignant tumor. I woke up one day and the eye was gone. My mother told me that an artificial eye would not be attractive, so she made one special for me.
Kouichi Sakakibara : You don't need to hide it. Misaki, I think your eye is beautiful.
Mei Misaki : They said I almost died during surgery. I can remember vaguely what happened then. Do you think that is possible?
Kouichi Sakakibara : You mean near-death experiences?
Mei Misaki : Death is not friendly, is dark, black on where you look at it, you're all alone.
Kouichi Sakakibara : All alone.
Mei Misaki : Yes, but is no different when you're alive, right? No matter how many relationships we seem to have, we're all alone. I am alone, my mother is alone, and you are alone. Misaki was alone too.
[Kouichi and Mei are looking face to face]
Mei Misaki : From tomorrow, we will deserve each other.
Kouichi Sakakibara : Uh, oh, yes...
Mei Misaki : [Shaking hands with Kouichi] Nice to meet you, Sakakibara.
-
Chibiki Tatsuji : [Arriving to the library] Oh, you two are here?
Mei Misaki : Now we are two people that don't exist.
Chibiki Tatsuji : I see... Now do you understand the situation, Sakakibara?
Kouichi Sakakibara : Most, but still find it hard to believe.
Chibiki Tatsuji : I understand, but it's true. This phenomenon is really happening in this town, in this school.
-
Chibiki Tatsuji : I can't understand the logic behind that, I simply gave up. Only one way seems to be effective against this phenomenon: To deny the existence of someone in the class.
Kouichi Sakakibara : And how probable is that it works?
Chibiki Tatsuji : Fifty-fifty. Some years it works, others fail. In some years there is a clear reason to fail, others are unknown.
Kouichi Sakakibara : That's terrible.
Chibiki Tatsuji : This is no a curse. There is no evil. occurs naturally as a typhoon or an earthquake.
Mei Misaki : Does Professor Mikami was a teacher in charge of class three in 1996?
Kouichi Sakakibara : [Looking at the yearbook] Oh, you're right.
Chibiki Tatsuji : She already went through a lot... and make her the assistant professor again...
-
Kouichi Sakakibara : Why they decided to make two people did not exist?
Mei Misaki : Probably they thought that the spell would not work if they say you now that you must start to ingore me.
Kouichi Sakakibara : So by having a second person cease to exist, could they make stronger the spell?
Mei Misaki : Right. It also saved them to explain you the problem on me. It's quite logical.
Kouichi Sakakibara : But it's a spell, right? All this for a spell?
Mei Misaki : Well, they're desperated. When they take into consideration that some of them may be the next, then take it seriously. Do you think they are being unreasonable?
Kouichi Sakakibara : Of course!
Mei Misaki : There are no guarantees. But if there is an opportunity to help us all avoid the curse, is not that good? It's sad when people die.
-
Kouichi Sakakibara : I saw the phrase "Who is the dead one?" written in your desk. Did you write it?
Mei Misaki : Yes I know I'm not dead. so I wanted to ask who it was.
Kouichi Sakakibara : Can You notice that?
Mei Misaki : Well...
[In that time, Kirika, Mei's mother, arrives at the room]
Yukiyo ' Kirika' Misaki : Welcome. Sorry for the way I look.
[to Mei, in a cold way]
Yukiyo ' Kirika' Misaki : Is he a friend from class? Or the art club?
Mei Misaki : [In a cold way] He is also a client of the gallery below. Seems to enjoy it a lot.
Yukiyo ' Kirika' Misaki : [Ignoring them] Oh, really? Seems unusual for a boy. Do you like dolls?.
Kouichi Sakakibara : Actually, I...
Mei Misaki : [Interrupting him] I think it's time to go, Sakakibara.
