Ep 1 : Why?

Ep 1 : Why?

[We are presented with a black screen] 

[The screen cuts into color]

[We see a girl around 7 or 8 ,  who has a black eye , bruised cheek and a bruised lip sitting on a bench outside of an office]

[She's sitting under a label that says *principal's office*]

[We can see three adults inside of the office ; two males and a female]

Principal : Ms. Watanabe. This is the 4th time that Junko has gotten into an altercation with one of our students.

Ms.Watanabe : Yes. I'm aware. 

Principal : Then you must know that this is completely unacceptable behavior. If you want your daughter to stay in this institution- this has to stop. 

Ms.Watanabe : I know. She's just having a hard time right now.

Principal : I know that but it's not an excuse. She cannot keep taking her anger out on her peers just because of her father's death. 

Ms.Watanabe : …

Principal : It would be best if she visits the school counselor for some time or maybe a professional therapist. 

Ms.Watanabe : With all due respect , sir. My kid isn't a nutcase. She's just grieving. In due time , she'll stop. 

[The principal and Ms.Watanabe continue to converse; the young girl, revealed to be called Junko , that's outside on the bench begins to drown out the conversation slowly, staring out of the window in front of her]

[She begins to stare at the trees blowing in the wind and the birds flying]

[Junko gets up from the bench and walks away]

[The camera cuts to outside of the school]

[The camera focuses on the school's entrance doors; we see Junko open one of the doors and it closes behind her]

[Junko looks around the empty school yard with the wind blowing her hair in all kinds of directions]

[Junko lets out a large sigh and she closes her eyes ] 

[For some time- there's a moment of utter silence, a moment of sheer peace]

[The sound of a woman yelling disrupts this moment for Junko]

[Junko turns around to see that she isn't actually alone in the school yard]

[Junko follows the sound of a woman yelling]

[Junko hides behind a wall and peaks from behind]

[From her point of view we can see a boy around  her age with his mother] 

[The young boy has his head down slightly while his mother is yelling at him for a reason unknown to the audience]

[Suddenly we see the woman raise her hand and she slaps the boy extremely hard across his face ] 

[The slap is so loud that it startles Junko] 

[The boy doesn't do anything however; he doesn't even flinch] 

[We see the  mother walk away from the boy  frustrated]

[After she leaves - we're taken from Junko's point of view and we begin to focus on the boy himself] 

[The boy stands there with his head down lower than it was before . His face is red , not only from being hit so hard  but also from trying to force his tears down] 

[The camera goes back to Junko - who looks sorry for the boy]

[Junko goes into her pocket and takes an unopened lollipop out. It seems as though she has  been saving it for an important occasion]

[The camera goes back to the boy

[He stoops down hugging his legs up to his chest]

[Junko walks up to him and taps him on the head] 

[He looks up and he sees Junko offering him the lollipop]

[He hesitates but takes it . He's unsure why she's giving it to him though] 

[Junko ruffles his hair and walks away] 

[The camera cuts to Junko in a car with Ms.Watanabe / her mother driving home]

[It seems to be a very quiet car ride] 

[Junko looks out the window deep in thought] 

[The camera shifts from inside the car to the outside- where we can see Junko clearly]

Junko : The day the wind blew stronger than titanium steel,  when I didn't hear my mother's voice for over 4 hours , and when I got my knuckles bruised for the 4th time in the same month. I met a boy - who was in just as much pain as I was. Who felt alone in a world where loneliness can kill. I gave him my favorite lollipop…and after that- I never saw him again. 

[The camera begins to zoom in on young  Junko's face but not completely]

[As we focus on Junko - we see her face slowly change from being a kid to a teenager. Staring at an empty chalkboard with her head on her desk deep in thought] 

[Junko seems to be in an empty classroom]

[Junko's train of thought is  broken abruptly  and becomes  startled by the sound of the classroom door opening]

[The sound of hearty laughter echoes in the empty classroom]

[A group of girls walk in and they all  take their seats away from where Junko is sitting] 

[They begin  whispering things about Junko while laughing ; looking back and forth at her as they do] 

[One of the girls walk over to her and sit in the seat in front of her] 

Junko : [Looks around wondering why the girl is sitting in front of her] 

Female Classmate : Hey, did you do last week's homework? 

Junko : [Looks at the girl slightly puzzled] 

Female Classmate : The research paper?

Junko : Oh…Yeah. I did it

Female Student : Thank God! You don't mind if I borrow it for a bit , do you? 

Junko : Nope. 

[Junko goes into her backpack and takes out a piece of paper ]

[Junko hands  it to the girl]

[The girl fakes a smile]

Female Student : Thanks! 

[The girl walks back to her friends with a look of pride plastered onto her face]

[ After some time , the rest of the students start coming into class- conversing with one another]

[At the same time we see a teacher walk in with a bright smile on her face holding a stack of papers  and goes towards the desk in the front near the chalkboard]

[Everyone takes their seats]

Teacher : Good morning everyone! 

Everyone : Good morning, Miss!

Teacher : I hope you all enjoyed your night , got some sleep and I hope you're all ready for the day! 

Everyone : Yes , Miss. 

Teacher : Today , I have your papers from last week's test and I must say most of you did exceptionally well!

[The teacher goes around the classroom distributing the papers and placing them on the student's desks] 

[After a while the teacher gets to Junko]

[The teacher hands Junko hers]

[We see that Junko got a B+]

Teacher : Congratulations , Junko. You scored a lot higher than last time. You're improving wonderfully. Keep up the good work.

Junko : [smiles a little but not all the way with her mouth closed] 

[The teacher finishes handing out the rest of the papers and then returns to her desk] 

Teacher : Alright everyone. Now that you all have your papers. Let's get right into the lesson shall we? 

[The teacher begins to write on the chalkboard]

[Everyone begins to take out their books - except Junko, who continues staring at her test paper]

[The camera cuts to the end of the class] 

[Everyone begins packing up their belongings in their backpacks]

Teacher : Everyone! Before you all leave. Could you all submit the homework I gave you all? 

[The girl walks up to the teacher , giving her the paper that Junko had given to her]

Female Classmate : Here you go,Miss. 

Teacher : Well, this is a nice surprise. You actually finished an assignment. Thank you. 

[The teacher walks over to Junko's desk]

Teacher : Any homework for me,Junko. 

Junko : [nods]

[Junko goes into her backpack and takes out a piece of paper]

[Junko hands this paper over to the teacher]

Teacher : [smiles] Thank you.

Female Classmate : [shocked and confused]

[The teacher collects the rest of the assignments and leaves soon after]

[Junko picks up her backpack and leaves before anyone else does so she can head to her next class]

[Junko walks down an empty hallway for a few minutes before walking into a different classroom] 

[As Junko takes her seat towards the window in the middle of the row- the camera focuses on two girls talking to one another only a seat away to Junko's right] 

Maki : Oh my gosh, Ayumi! Your haircut looks so amazing! 

Ayumi : Thank you, Maki. 

Maki : And your new glasses compliment it so well! 

Ayumi : Now you're just telling me what I want to hear. 

Maki : No I'm not! I'm serious. You look super awesome with those glasses on!

Ayumi : Thank you,Maki.

[Maki turns around to see Junko sitting in her usual spot] 

Maki: Oh! Hi, Junko! I didn't see you come in 

Junko : [smiles and gives her a small wave]

Maki : [gasps] 

Junko : [gets startled a little]

Maki : Oh my gosh! Junko,. How come I've never seen you smile before? Your smile is so pretty! You should totally smile more! 

Ayumi : Maki, come on , leave her alone. She probably doesn't want to be disturbed right now

Maki : Oh, right. Sorry. 

[Junko reverts back to her own little world] 

[A boy walks into the classroom and walks over to where Ayumi is sitting]

[The boy kisses Ayumi on the cheek]

Levi : Hey, Maki. 

Maki : Hi, Levi. What's up?

Levi : Nothing. Just escaped Math class. Geometry is such a pain. 

[Levi looks over to where Junko is sitting]

Levi : Oh, good morning Junko. Didn't see you there. 

[Junko gives a small wave once again]

Levi : Are you doing ok? I heard you had a massive nosebleed last week. 

Junko : [nods]

Levi : Great! [gives Junko a friendly smile]

Ayumi : Levi.

Levi : Yeah, Yumi? 

Ayumi : [whispers to him] I told you not to speak to Junko. Just leave her alone. She clearly doesn't want to be bothered. 

Levi : I was just curious, Yumi. I wanted to know if she was ok- that's all. 

Ayumi : [Sighs]  [Normal voice] Just leave her be. Ok? 

Levi : Ok. 

Ayumi : I wonder what we're going to learn today. Last week's lesson was really interesting.

Maki : Are you kidding me?? The last lesson was such a drag! I barely understood anything! The guy made it so confusing! 

Levi : He makes every lesson confusing, Maki. 

[Maki turns to Junko]

Maki : Hey, Junko! Did you understand the lesson?

Junko : [nods]

Maki : Really!?! You have to explain it to me at lunch today! I'm desperate! 

Ayumi : Maki, we have plans at lunch, Remember 

Maki : Oh…yeah. Right. Maybe next time then

Junko : [nods and goes back to mind her own business with a somber look] 

[Levi looks around and realizes the class is really empty  and no one else has come into the classroom yet] 

Levi : I just realized that it's really empty in here. Where is everyone? 

Maki : Yeah. You're right. It's just as empty as Kaoru's head! 

[Just as Maki says that - another boy walks into the classroom , walks towards where Levi , Maki and Ayumi are]

Kaoru : Hey everybody! 

Maki : Speak of the devil. 

[Kaoru wraps his around Levi] 

Kaoru : Why're you guys still here? 

[They all look at each other :  confused]

Levi : What do you mean? 

Kaoru : Didn't you hear? Mr.Inko's wife went into labor today. He's not at school. 

Maki : Seriously!? 

Kaoru : Yeah. Can't believe you guys didn't know. 

Ayumi ; That's because we're not busy bodies like you, Kaoru.

Kaoru : You make it sound like a bad thing, Yumi.

[While the gang is conversing- we switch to Junko's point of view]

[We see that the room starts to get a lot brighter than it's supposed to]

[The camera switches from Junko's point of view to regular viewing]

[The camera focuses on Junko- who's squinting her eyes]

[Junko goes into her backpack and takes out a pair of sunglasses]

[Junko puts them on and it seems like it helped the situation]

[The gang decides to leave the classroom and go do something else]

[As soon as they leave - we see the group of girls from before walk into the classroom]

[They surround Junko]

Female Classmate : Hey, Junko. 

Junko: ….

FC : You left before I could tell you how I felt about that little stunt you pulled. 

Junko : …

FC : Hey…

Junko : …

FC : HEY! 

[FC grabs Junko's face - forcing her to look at her]

FC : Don't I always tell you to look at me when I'm talking to you. Didn't your Mom teach you any manners? 

Junko : ….

FC : Oh. That's right. I forgot . Your Mom doesn't give a shit about you. [smiles menacingly] Who would ever give a shit about someone as worthless as you? 

Junko: ….

[FC  lets go of Junko's face] 

[FC gets into Junko's face once again]

FC : Don't pull that bull shit ever again or I'll make you pay for it. Got that? 

Junko : [nods slowly]

FC : Good. 

[FC moves away from Junko's face]

FC : Come on guys. 

[The group of girls walk away from Junko and then walk out of the classroom]

[Now Junko is all alone]

[Junko rubs her cheek because of how hard FC grabbed her face] 

[Junko rests her head on her desk looking out of the window]

Junko IM (inner monologue) : [sighs]  I'm hungry. 

[The camera cuts to the school cafeteria]

[We see Junko sitting at a table alone with a tray of food while she's surrounded by people from different grades conversing and laughing with one another]

[The tray contains a bowl of rice , a bowl of miso soup , teriyaki chicken and potato salad]

[Junko picks up a piece of teriyaki chicken and places on top of her rice]

[Junko picks up the combination she made - brings it to her mouth and eats it] 

[As Junko chews the chicken and rice- she begins to get lost in her mind once again]

[The camera cuts to a scene from the past]

[we see young Junko , younger than 7, eating the same kind of lunch]

[We see a pair of chopsticks going towards her bowl , placing a few more pieces of teriyaki chicken into it] 

[Junko looks up]

[The camera shows us a dashing and gentle looking man sitting across from Junko]

Mr. Akimoto : Eat up, Junko! How else are you going to grow taller than me? 

5 year old Junko : I'm already taller than you! 

Mr.Akimoto : No!

5 yo Junko : Yes! 

Mr.Akimoto : In your dreams! 

5 yo Junko : [sticks out her tongue]

[We return to the present where we see Junko still chewing but a bit slower] 

[Junko looks down at her tray solemnly] 

Mr.Akimoto VO : [chuckles] Ok. Ok. Eat up, my little giant. 

5 yo Junko VO : [Giggles]

[Junko swallows the food]

[Junko lets out a sigh and then continues to eat]

[Junko puts down her chopsticks and picks up her spoon]

[She's about to drink a bit of her miso soup when FC and her gang startle her; sitting beside her with their lunch trays] 

FC #2 : Aw look. Junko's eating her lunch all alone! 

Fc #3 : She didn't even bother to ask if we wanted to have lunch with her. How rude!

FC: How rude, indeed. Doesn't matter though. We're here now, right? 

Fc #4 : Let's see what our dear friend is having for lunch today. 

Fc #2 : Hmmm- Rice, Miso soup , Teriyaki chicken and potato salad. Wow, how fancy! 

FC : Hmm..don't you think it's missing something? 

Fc #2 : You're right! This meal is missing something

FC : Oh I know! She doesn't have any milk! 

FC #2: Oh yeah! How could you forget the most important part of lunch, silly ? Here , have some of mine!

[Fc#2 opens  her milk carton and pours some of it over Junko's head]

Fc# 3 : And mine too!

[FC #3 opens her milk carton and pours it over Junko's head as well]

[The group of girls laugh at Junko as the milk is being poured onto her , dripping profusely] 

[Some students look around as Fc #3 pours on Junko and begin to whisper to one another]

[Junko sits there silently, taking it all in, her hands clenching the edge of her pleated uniform skirt] 

[FC #3 finishes pouring the carton of milk]

FC : Now that's better, right?

Junko: ….

FC : Right, Junko?

Junko : [nods slowly] 

FC : It was fun having lunch with you. [laughs] 

[The three girls get up from the lunch table and walk away -leaving Junko all alone]

[Junko wipes off the excess milk dripping on her face] 

[The camera cuts to Junko in the bathroom wearing a plain white T shirt and a pair of house shorts while trying to wash her uniform]

[Junko's wet hair strands stick to her forehead and cheeks-indicating that she just washed the milk smell out of her hair] 

[Junko  lets out a sigh]

[Junko squeezes the water out of her uniform]

[Junko puts the wet clothing in a garbage bag]

[Junko takes up the garbage bag and leaves the bathroom]

[Junko walks down the empty school halls aimlessly]

Junko IM : How am I going to explain this? Do I lie again? Will they even believe me this time? Do they even care if I lie or not? 

[Junko's thoughts are interrupted when she sees a two girls  ahead of her - a different group]

[Junko stops walking and stares]

[The camera focuses on the two girls]

[One girl is cornering the other

Lily : I already told you guys- I don't have enough money today. 

Girl : Liar! 

Lily : My mom didn't give me enough today. Can't you wait till tomorrow? 

Girl : No. I need my money, bitch. 

[The girl slaps Lily in the face very hard]

[The girl takes Lily's bag and begins to search it- throwing her things onto the floor]

[The girl throws the bag itself onto the floor]

[The girl grabs onto the collar of Lily's shirt and slaps her again] 

Lily : Why do you even need my allowance? 

Girl : Because the fact that your existence is an inconvenience to me ,  until then you'll be giving me every penny or else I'll find other ways to get it.

[We see a hand tap the Girl's shoulder]

[The Girl turns her head around to see who tapped her shoulder]

[It's revealed to be Junko's]

Girl : What the hell do you want? Don't you know how to mind your own fcking business? 

[Junko opens a compartment at the front of her back pack and takes out a few Yen] 

[She offers it to the girl]

Junko : Here. 

Girl : You're seriously giving me 300 Yen 

Junko : [nods]

[The girl takes the money from Junko and walks away]

[Junko begins to pick up Lily's things]

[Lily picks her empty backpack from the floor]

[Junko puts Lily's belongings in her backpack]

Lily : Thank you. [bows] 

Junko : [nods] 

[Junko continues to walk the school halls aimlessly- while Lily walks in a different direction]

[The camera cuts to Junko with her head down - staring at her shoes  in the teacher's lounge/ office standing in front of a male teacher- who's tending to an orchid plant]

[There's a few teachers in the office along with the male teacher and Junko]

[The male teacher spins his chair to face Junko] 

Male Teacher (MT) : Ms.Akimoto. Would you mind telling me why you're in uniform? 

Junko: ....

MT: Ms.Akimoto. This isn't your home. This is a school . When you're at school you're supposed to be in uniform.

Junko : I was [quiet tone] 

MT : Then why aren't you wearing it now?

Junko : ….

MT: Well? 

[Junko lifts her head to look at the male teacher in the face] 

Junko : I accidentally spilled milk on myself during lunch. People were able to see through my shirt so I went to the bathroom to wash it.

MT:  Really?

Junko : Yes.

MT:  Did milk get in your hair as well ?

Junko : …

MT : [sighs heavily] Junko…who did this?

Junko : No one. 

MT : Junko , I'm not the enemy here.

Junko: I never said you were

MT : You have to tell me who keeps doing all this to you. 

Junko: I could…but it won't get better. 

[The male teacher and Junko stare at each other in complete silence]

Junko : Can I go now? 

[The male teacher sighs and spins his chair to face his desk]

[He grabs a piece of paper and a pen and begins to write something]

[He spins the chair around again to face Junko and gives her the piece of paper]

MT : It's a note for your next teacher. That way you won't have to explain anything.

Junko: Ok. Goodbye. Have a good day,sir.

MT : You too, Junko. 

[Junko walks away and leaves the office, closing the door behind her]

[The camera cuts to the end of the school day]

[Junko seems to be at some kind of food court]

[It seems that it's a very popular place amongst teenagers as we see several of them walking around - laughing and conversing]

[Junko is sitting down at a booth minding her business , looking around , waiting for her spicy instant noodles to cook] 

[Junko lays her head in her left hand with her left arm on the table and her right arm is on the table folded towards her chest] 

[She stares into space - watching people walk by]

[Suddenly , Junko sees a tall boy around her age with long lavender hair and navy blue eyes in his uniform. He's alone and  listening to music]

[Junko watches him as he walks up to the store where she bought her food]

[Through the glass of the store- she sees him pick up some food and a drink]

Junko *IM* : I wonder if he eats anything other than Onigiri and Cola? 

[We see the boy walk out of the shop and go about his day]

Junko IM : I should probably stop staring at people and eat

[Junko takes the chopsticks from on top of the container and opens the lid]

[Junko begins to eat her instant noodles] 

[It's evening now.The camera cuts again to Junko walking on the luminous slightly empty streets of her neighborhood walking towards a  blue and white house]

[She walks up the 4 stairs leading up to the front door of the house]

[Junko takes out a pair of keys from her backpack and puts it into the door knob]

[We hear the "click" sound coming from the doorknob - meaning the door has opened] 

[Junko turns the door knob,opens the door and enters the house]

[The camera shifts to Junko being inside in her  pitch dark home]

[Junko turns on the light switch in the room she's standing in]

[The room is now illuminated - allowing us to see what's in the room itself]

[It seems to be a kitchen/dining room]

[It's a very simple kitchen with the sink, stove and the refrigerator all set right next to each other and a standard wooden dining table with 5 chairs around it]

[Junko takes her shoes off and places them beside the door neatly]

[Junko places her backpack on a bag rack in the doorway above where she placed her shoes]

[Junko unzips her back pack and takes out the bag with her partially wet uniform]

[Junko walks past the kitchen, carrying the bag of clothes off screen to a different room, turning on the lights before entering]

[She's in there for quite some time]

[We see Junko return onscreen after a few minutes - wearing different clothing]

[She's wearing an oversized white t shirt with a frog riding a skateboard with blue pajama shorts (mid thigh) with white edges at the side and she's walking around barefoot]

[Junko walks towards the refrigerator and sees a sticky note on there with writing on it]

[Junko takes it off and reads it]

[The camera takes a glimpse at the note]

Note : I got your medication , I put them in your room. I also made Tonkatsu - it's in the fridge. Call me when you get home. 

Kira 

[Junko takes her phone out of her pocket]

[The camera allows us to see what's on the screen]

[Junko opens her phone and goes straight to contacts]

[Junko selects the contact named "Big Sister"]

[The call screen becomes visible] 

[The call is answered] 

Kira : Hey! 

Junko : Hi.

Kira : What's up? You got home pretty late.

Junko : It's only 5 pm.

Kira : That's late on a school day.

Junko : Mm.

Kira : How was school?

Junko : School is school. How's work?

Kira : It's ok. Tiring as it always is. 

Junko : Ah.

Kira : Haruki was wondering if you wanted to maybe stay over for a few weeks since summer vacation is almost here. 

Junko : Maybe.

Kira : Ryota would love to have you over. 

Junko : How is he?

Kira : He's ok. He's still trying to adjust to the whole new school thing. He kind of reminds me of you when you were younger. Very quiet. 

Junko : [smiles] 

Kira : Is Mom home yet?

Junko : No. She probably won't be home tonight. 

Kira : Oh. Work?

Junko : Date night.

Kira : Ohhh. Is it with the same guy? What's his name? Taka? Tadashi?

Junko : Tatsou.

Kira : Yeah,him! Have you met him yet? 

Junko : Yeah. 

Kira : What's he  like?

Junko : Tall. 

Kira : That's it? Tall?

Junko : What else am I supposed to say? 

Kira : Is he nice?

Junko : I guess so. He makes Mom happy. As long as she's happy I can't really complain. 

Kira : Has he met the twins?

Junko : Yes. They seem to like him.

Kira : Great.

[A long pause]

Kira : I better go. I have to get dinner ready . I'll call you tomorrow. 

Junko : Okay. See you later.

Kira : Bye bye.

[Kira hangs up]

[The camera cuts to Junko in what seems to be her bedroom]

[Junko is sitting at her desk with a book in front of her and a pencil]

[The camera goes in an aerial view and we look at what Junko is doing with the pencil and paper]

[It seems she's sketching a picture of the boy we saw at the mall earlier] 

[Junko's phone vibrates on the table]

[Thinking it's a message from her mother she quickly picks up her phone to look at the notification]

[The camera looks at the phone screen]

[The notification she received was indeed a message but it's not from her mother]

Message: Hey, sl*t , you didn't snitch on us right? 

Message #2: You do know what will happen if you do , don't you?

[Junko deletes the messages and shuts her phone off] 

[Junko continues drawing]

[Junko turns to an empty page]

[She writes "Mom" at the top of the page]

[She proceeds to draw under the title] 

[As she's drawing, Junko's phone vibrates again]

[Junko sighs and picks up her phone once again]

[The notification she received is a message from someone saved as "Powder"]

Powder

Message: Hey,big sister! Niko and I are going to bed now. We'll see you on Wednesday. We miss you! Good night, sleep well. We love you ❤️.

[Junko smiles to herself gently and replies]

Junko 

Message: Okay. Good night. Have sweet dreams. Can't wait to see you 😊. I love you both as well ❤️. 

[Junko is about to turn her phone off again when she gets a call from someone saved as Tatsou]

[Junko answers  , puts it in speaker and rests the phone on the desk] 

Junko : Hello?

Tatsou: Hey, kid. Are you ok?

Junko: Mhmm

Tatsou: Did you lock the door?

Junko : Mhmm

Tatsou: Okay. Good. I called to check up on you. 

Junko : Okay. Thank you. 

Tatsou: Do you wanna talk to your Mom? 

Junko: No. I don't wanna spoil her fun. Just tell her hi for me and that I'm home. I don't have any homework so I'm going to bed early. 

Tatsou: Ah. Okay then. Be safe. 

Junko : You too. Good night. 

Tatsou: Good night.

[Tatsou hangs up]

[Junko shuts her phone off again]

[Junko goes over to her night stand , leaving her phone and book on her desk]

[Junko picks up the pill bottle that's on the nightstand]

[Junko sits on her bed and reads the prescribed dosage of the medication to herself]

Junko : Take 2 every day at 7 am and 8 pm. Take with water only. 

[Junko stares out of space for a while]

[Junko looks at the time and it's past 8]

Junko : I'll take them tomorrow

[Junko's phone begins to vibrate several times but she chooses to ignore it because she feels tired]

[The camera however shows us the notifications that pop up on the screen] 

Message 1  : You think you're so smart , you sl*t. This is why your mom doesn't love you🤣

Message 2: You better not have snitched on us, bitch 

Message 3 : How did the milk taste, Junko? Was it good?😊

Message 4 : Why aren't you answering? Don't you like us? Aren't we your friends?☹️

Message 5 : Answer the f*cking phone, b*tch or you're gonna pay for it tomorrow. 

[The camera shifts away from the phone screen as it continues to vibrate]

[The camera goes to Junko , who seems to have already fallen fast asleep]

[The camera cuts to a black screen]

[The camera returns to a normal screen and we seem to have cut to the next day]

[It seems to be dark outside meaning that it's still pretty early in the morning]

[Junko is still fast asleep] 

[The camera shows us the alarm clock on the nightstand ; the clock reads 4:00 AM] 

[The camera focuses on Junko's eyes as we see them open slowly]

[Junko yawns and stretches]

[Junko rubs her left eye with her left hand]

[Junko sits up on the bed resting her back against her pillow and the wall behind her]

[Junko looks on the time shown on the clock and then looks forward at her desk with the book she was drawing in , her pencil and her phone]

[Junko feels hesitant to pick her phone up; afraid of what she might see]

Junko *IM* : I wonder if Mom is home…she's probably with Tatsou. Maybe I should call her..but I don't wanna bother her. I guess I'll just get ready for school. 

[Junko swings her legs to the side of the bed and gets up]

[Junko then walks towards her , turns the door knob and opens the door]

[Junko closes the door behind her]

[The camera cuts to Junko , in her uniform eating rice, steamed Bok Choy  and the leftover Tonkatsu her sister left in the fridge from her thermal cylinder triple stackable bento lunch box while sitting on the steps of her school]

[It's not open yet considering it's still early in the morning]

[The sky begins to light up a little, going from pitch black to a bit of a light navy blue with a few grayish clouds]

[Junko checks her watch while chewing]

[The camera focuses on the watch - showing us it's around 5:30]

[Junko's phone vibrates once again from backpack]

[Junko puts her bento down and goes into her backpack to take her phone out]

[Junko opens up her phone to see a notification]

Notification : 

pretty_bxtch_zaraaa💛 is LIVE right now! 

Check it out! 

[Junko looks at the notification for a few seconds but eventually decides to open it] 

[Junko is taken to the live]

[Junko looks at her screen confused as she only sees a paved ground]

[The camera focuses on Junko's phone screen]

[On the screen we see that it shifts over to a selfie view - where we see the girl from before (the one Junko gave her money to)] 

Zara : Hey guuuyys! It's ya bitch Zara! I've got something HILARIOUS to show you guys! 

[Zara switches the camera from selfie view to surrounding view (if you know you know)] 

[After doing that - we see Lily on her knees on the ground covered in some kind of liquid and garbage. She also has a bruised eye and a bruised cheek with her head looking down at the ground]

Zara : Aww..what's the matter Lilybear? Huh?  You didn't like your cold shower? Ugh and you still stink too! You're so disgusting.

[Zara slaps Lily so hard that her nose began to bleed]

[Lily sniffles as she's trying to hold in her tears]

Zara : Why are you crying , b*tch? You know you deserve this. 

[Junko's eyes widened]

[Junko looked closer at where Lily was located and she recognized it immediately] 

[Junko quickly put her phone in her cardigan pocket , got up from the step she was sitting on and ran]

[We no longer see what's happening]

[The camera shifts to what we saw on Junko's phone : Zara holding her phone and recording a live stream]

[We see tears falling down Lily's face and water dripping from her hair] 

[Lily's body is trembling]

Zara : Is little baby Lily cold? Good, you should be. You deserve it . Did you honestly think you could get away from me that easily ? Did you honestly think some money was gonna stop me? Please. I'll never leave you alone. 

[Zara stoops/squats to Lily's level]

[Zara lifts Lily's head up  by grabbing her face forcefully with her right hand while still holding onto her phone with her left hand]

Zara As long as you're still breathing , I will make your life a personal hell. In fact, I'll make sure I do. You wanna know the funniest part about all of it? No one will be able to save you! 

[Zara gives Lily a devilish smile and begins to laughing] 

[Zara stands straight ; removing herself from the squat/stooping position as she continues laughing]

[The camera focuses on Zara from Lily's point of view]

[Suddenly we see a hand offscreen grab Zara's shirt]

Zara : HUH!? HEY! WHAT-

[We come out of Lily's point of view ]

[Before Zara can finish her sentence , we see a fist collide with Zara's face knocking her to the ground and knocking her phone out of her hand; startling Lily as she covers her mouth with her hands letting out a slight gasp]

[Zara groans in pain]

[The camera shifts its focus to the left of Lily when she turns her head to see who it is]

[When it does , we see that the person who punched Zara in the face was indeed Junko]

[As Junko is flashing her hand from the pain of punching Zara the camera begins to zoom on Junko]

[The faint sound of the instrumental from Hayloft I begins to play in the background]

[As the camera zooms in on Junko even more , the music begins to get louder and louder]

[The camera stops zooming and is focused on Junko's slightly scared and shocked  face ; this is when the music gets to normal volume] 

[The camera cuts to black as a Japanese cover of Hayloft I begins to play as the credits roll]
