There is no Buddha.
I'll come for you tomorrow.
Wait!
It's me!
I'm not a demon! It's me!
It's me!
It's you!
It's me!
It's your mother!
Then that demon every night -
Yes, it was me!
I was wrong. Forgive me.
I wore the mask
to scare you away from him.
Now I'm being punishedfor it!
The mask won't come off!
Why won't it come off?
Why won't it come off?
It got wet in the rain
and won't come off.
Why won't it come off?
Why won't it come off?
Look at you!
It's your punishment!
Please get it off!
Get it off!
I didn't sin!
This proves it!
Old meddler!
This proves it!
I was wrong.
I was wrong to meddle.
Get it off!
You became a demon!
Now stay that way!
Please get it off me!
I'm begging you!
All right,
but will you do everything I say?
I will!
Exactly as I say?
Yes, I will!
Can I see Hachi every night?
Daytime too?
You won't complain about us?
No, I won't.
Day and night?
Yes.
You sure?
I'm sure!
All right, I'll take it off.
It hurts!
It hurts!
Why is this happening?
Hurry, take it off!
- Bear it, even if it hurts!
It hurts!
The rain did this!
- It hurts!
It's punishment!
It hurts!
It's that samurai's curse!
What?
It hurts!
Hold on now, even if it hurts!
I'm goingto die.
It came off.
The mask came off!
Demon!
Thank you.
What Happened?
Wait!
I'm not a demon,
I'm a human being!
I'm a human being!
