Episodes 5.1


A light rain fell in the morning, at which time Ryusuke curled up with his face paled on his mattress. Heavy sweat fell from his forehead, and strange visuals sprung up on his head: Blood, humans impaled on a crossbar, reddish skies, people crawling on the ground, long black hair that filled the floor, and a red-eyed child shouted “Dad..


“Ryusuke, are you still not feeling well?”  Said the Mother from under the stairs with a loud TV sound, “You asked for permission? I know what happened yesterday must have been hard on you? Do I take you to the doctor?”


Ryusuke did not reply, and the mother sighed, trying to think of an excuse to miss her son again. Previously even though the mother was quite excited about her son being interviewed yesterday in front of the house, let alone the headmaster contacting to reward his son. But if truant like this, it could be the moments his son will be stale.


While calling, the mother looked towards her son's basketball charter, which was last year's regional champion. He was so proud of his son, how a hoodlum who was always troubled now became an accomplished child even a hero in this small town. The mother ignored her prankster thoughts, calling her son's teacher permission.


Before long the mother set the news on local television. He checked the time, then went back to the kitchen, checked the television again. Suddenly news emerged about the child, and the mother set the tv sound aloud.


“Ryusuke! Son, you're on TV!!”


Once again, Ryusuke could not hear her yelling back, and then the phone rang. Brothers, neighbors, and working husbands called the Mother, the house was so crowded at that time by the sound of TV and the voice of the Mother who spoke like mothers huddled.


A few minutes later after everything was over, the mother began bringing her breakfast and drinks to Ryusuke's room, and Ryusuke ran to WC and vomited with alarming vomit.


“Ryusuke!! Seriously, I'll call the doctor!!!” The mother shouted in front of the bathroom, yesterday indeed Ryusuke protested his mother's decision to take him to the hospital, “You are sick son!”


“DIAM!” Shouted Ryusuke spontaneously, “LOU SHOUT AGAIN, I SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!”


There was no reply, and the mother tearfully cleaned up the food that had fallen on the floor and went down to the bottom of the floor while complaining about her ignorant child being lucky, “I am really angry! Listen it Ryusuke!!” Said the mother sulking while carrying her bag and umbrella.


Just about to open the door, suddenly the mother's shoulder was held by such a cold hand.


“Mother..”


Ryusuke looks with his face so pale whitened, while his eyes reddened as if exposed to severe irritation. Still looking dirty his clothes were blown away by the vomit, and the saliva that dropped from his lips.


“I'm sorry mom..”


“Ryusuke, oh god.” The mother holds Ryusuke's forehead, and does not feel Ryusuke's body temperature, “You are really sick, this is severe! Ah, mom didn't leave. We call the doctor well, mom prepare porridge for you.”.


The mother rushed to the kitchen, as Ryusuke passed his mother. He headed for the exit that was still open, looked out of the way while glancing left and right, then closed the door, locked it.


Slowly the drizzling rain turned so heavy with thunder so fierce. Ryusuke's noisy house by the television soon became quiet and silent.
