Last Quarter Page #2

Synopsis: Do you believe in love after death? On the eve of her 19th birthday, Mizuki (Kuriyama) doesn't have a lot to celebrate about. Her mother recently committed suicide, her stepfamily bothers her, her boyfriend has been cheating on her and her best friend has betrayed her. Hurt and disillusioned, Mizuki runs from everything and is drawn by some unknown force to a dilapidated estate. Deep within the house Mizuki discovers the mysterious Adam (Hyde), playing a hauntingly familiar melody on the guitar. Melancholy and full of secrets, it seems that Adam, and the house, have a strange, irresistible link to Mizuki. Can Mizuki's boyfriend and a couple of well-meaning schoolchildren uncover the secret of what happened 19 years ago and free Mizuki before the last quarter of the moon falls?

Next thing I knew I was in here...

and now I can't leave even if I try.

Is it because the gate is locked?

Locked? Who did it?

Adam won't be able to get in then!

Adam?

Hotaru...

See?

Every time I try to get out,

I'm put back here.

I had a boyfriend. Adam.

All I remember is the week

I lived here with him.

Am I cursed to stay here forever...

locked in with no recollection?

Forever.

Thank you.

Shiraishi?

Miura? Why are you here?

What are you doing in a place

like this, skipping school?

Is this your boyfriend?

No, no. He's in the class next to mine.

His name is Masaki Miura.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Miura.

Shiraishi, you've been

talking to yourself.

They say this house is haunted.

Let's get out of here!

Wait!

There's a young lady over there.

Can you see her?

I get it.

You had an accident, right?

This might be an aftereffect.

Let's go!

Don't forget this, Hotaru.

Oh, right.

We'll help you get out of here.

Miura...

I know.

We should give her a name.

Right!

How about Eve?

Because she's Adam's lover.

Did she like it?

Yeah. She says "Thanks."

Eve, write anything in here.

If we can find a clue, you should be

able to get out of here.

So Eve is dead.

Let's help her go to heaven.

Yeah.

Isn't she scared, though?

All alone in this spooky place.

I've got the impression that

it looks like a normal house to her.

If that's so, it may be that

she has lived here before.

What looks normal to her must be

the memory from back then.

We'll check who used to live here

after school tomorrow.

Yeah.

Hey!

Is this a prank?

Good afternoon.

Go play tricks somewhere else.

Excuse me.

The old mansion over there...

Come in. It's cold out here.

A long time ago,

the Kamijo family lived there.

It's been about 20 years

since the couple moved out.

The mansion was too big

for just two of them...

and full of painful memories.

It was too much for them.

What happened?

They had twins, a boy and a girl.

There were four of them all together.

The boy died in

a motorbike accident.

The parents were devastated.

But thanks to the cheerful girl...

they were coming to terms

with the loss slowly but surely.

She had a gift for music

and her talent was discovered.

She went to study in England

when she was still in high school.

They had great hopes for her future.

But...

their hopes were crushed.

In London she fell ill...

and followed her brother.

She was only 19.

They used to call me Mr. Painter,

and I enjoyed their company.

I was often invited to her concerts.

She would've become a great pianist,

had she not passed away.

Pianist?

Do you have a picture of her?

You want to see?

This is Sayaka...

just before she went to England.

I asked for the honor...

of painting the great pianist

of the future.

S. K?

Good afternoon.

Miura...

About a month ago, I found her

in an alley in the neighborhood.

But I couldn't bear to tell Hotaru.

I didn't want to see her devastated.

SYBELLE:

This is... me?

No, I don't think this is you.

But doesn't this painting

help you remember anything?

What did she say?

Nothing.

I don't think she has anything to do

with Sayaka Kamijo.

Sayaka Kamijo?

Eve, what's the matter?

Look at this!

Initials on her necklace.

S.K.

Sayaka Kamijo!

So...

Adam gave it to me...

for my 18th birthday.

Adam...

who's the girl you see in me?

Eve is about the same age as

Sayaka who is already deceased.

And she has a necklace

with the same initials engraved.

Is this a coincidence?

What?

What is it all of a sudden?

You said you were hit by a car

on October 14, about 5 A.M. Right?

And?

You and Sybelle must've been

in the place...

where people pass through

before they die.

You mean,

like the "Gate of Death"?

Maybe something happened to Eve

the same time you got in an accident!

That's why you guys met.

Found it! This is it!

STUDENT IN COMA AFTER ACCIDEN

STUDENT IN COMA AFTER ACCIDEN Sasahara Women's Music Academy?

STUDENT IN COMA AFTER ACCIDEN Mizuki Mochizuki?

Who was she going to meet?

That's all I want to know.

Tell me everything you know!

How would I know?

Her cell phone was off.

Sorry. I apologize.

I'm not blaming you.

It's all my fault.

But please go and see her

in the hospital.

Stop mentioning Mizuki!

Just looking at you reminds me

of that evening!

Leave me alone!

You know Miss Mochizuki?

Mizuki MOCHIZUKI

Mizuki, you have visitors.

Please.

I'll go borrow a vase.

We must help her soul...

return to her one and only body.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

Tomoki?

Hi, Mrs. Mochizuki.

Hello.

Are you Mizuki's friends?

Yes.

These...

Thank you very much.

Tomoki says Mizuki helped you

look for your cat.

Yes. About a month ago.

Do you remember

the exact date?

On October 13 or so.

Soon after that, we found out

that she was in an accident.

Was she alone that night?

Yes.

I see.

She had her passport with her

at the time of the accident.

Where was she going at that hour?

And with whom?

If you know anything, tell me.

I wonder if

Tomoki is her boyfriend.

He didn't look like an "Adam."

Eve will be glad to know...

that Mizuki's body is where

she should return.

I'm sure she'll feel more hopeful.

Right.

Oh, damn! Steps.

Oops, key!

Shiraishi, what's Eve saying?

She can't relate to Mizuki

and that it doesn't feel like it's her.

Eve...

your body's still alive.

We both saw you

with our own eyes.

We also met Mizuki's boyfriend...

Tomoki Anzai.

Says she doesn't know him...

and that her boyfriend is Adam.

The necklace that you treasure,

that's from Tomoki.

She says it's from Adam...

and she remembers

the time she got it.

You freaks!

You're no friends of Mizuki's.

What kind of game is this?

What are you guys thinking?

Using her misfortune for your game?

I'll make you pay for it!

Listen to us!

About Adam and Eve?

Mizuki's here. Believe us!

Give me a break!

"Don't... please..."

That's Mizuki's handwriting.

What is going on?

Tell me so I can understand!

Our accidents

were on the same day.

Maybe that's why I can see her.

It may be hard to digest, but...

Hey.

Look into the window of the sandcastle

upside down between your legs...

and you'll see your own future.

I'll pass.

Try it!

Get up!

Quick!

All right.

All I see is the sea.

See now? Your future.

What is it, Adam?

Adam?

You overslept again?

The contest's soon.

Eat and go practice.

Dad...

Oh, no. These came in a set.

Now it's missing a pair.

Mom!

Hey! Seen my ring?

It should be around here.

Never mind. I had it

on a different finger.

Big Brother!

Don't go!

No, don't go!

Let's move from here.

Too many sad memories here.

It's all in Eve's head.

Eve never lived here

when she was little.

But she says...

that her dad, an architect,

and her mom...

her twin brother

and their cat Janosch...

all lived here together.

A business man.

Mizuki's dad's

an ordinary office guy.

And she has no brother.

Tomoki...

So you believe us?

I'm kinda stubborn.

So I washed away my doubts
