MIKA: "If we feel like it's getting dangerous, we can still leave. That way, we should be fine, right?"
MIKA: "So, let's go!"
MIKA: "That boy isn't here..."
CHISATO: "The air feels heavy here..."
YUKARI: "The trains here are going to... Yuuyamigaoka [Hill of Dusk]? Have you ever heard of such a place?"
CHISATO: "No..."
A: Run away. B: Turn around.
A: Run away. B: Turn around. [X]
STATION ATTENDANT: "What are you doing here at such an hour?"
STATION ATTENDANT: "The last train is approaching, please be careful."
MIKA: "The last train...?"
MIKA: "But the last train already left a while ago..."
CHISATO: "Maybe it's a...night train?"
MIKA: "But these you wouldn't call 'last train'..."
MIKA: "This is kinda fishy..."
MIKA: "The station attendant went that way, right? I'll just go and ask him."
YUKARI: "Wait! Don't just go alone!"
YUKARI: "We'll come with you!"
MIKA: "Excuse me!"
YUKARI: "Uhm..."
A: "What did you mean by 'last train'?" B: "Mika, take a picture!" C: "Where exactly is Yuuyamigaoka?"
A: "What did you mean by 'last train'?" B: "Mika, take a picture!" C: "Where exactly is Yuuyamigaoka?" [X]
YUKARI: "Uhm, where exactly is Yuuyamigaoka?"
ATTENDANT: "Yuuyamigaoka? Do you want to go there?"
ATTENDANT: "You need a special-express ticket! It's 2000 Yen!"
MIKA: "Huh? But normal express trains don't even stop at this station... and yet, special-express trains do?"
«A train is now approaching track 4.»
«It's dangerous, so everyone please stay behind the line.»
MIKA: "...not that anyone's here apart from us."
MIKA: "I've never seen a train like this before!"
CHISATO: "This train is very old, isn't it...?"
MIKA: "Maybe it's, like, some sort of special train? Let me take a quick picture."
MIKA: "......"
YUKARI: "Let me guess... You want to try riding this train, am I right?"
MIKA: "Ah, you know me too well!"
MIKA: "I've never even heard of Yuuyamigaoka..."
MIKA: "It's a pretty... fancy name, don't you think?"
CHISATO: "No, stop... You definitely... shouldn't get on this train... Something is really strange!"
MIKA: "Strange? What exactly?"
MIKA: "Hey, Yukari! You don't feel anything like that, do you? It's fine to ride this train, right?"
A: "Should be fine." B: "It seems dangerous. Don't do it."
A: "Should be fine." [X] B: "It seems dangerous. Don't do it."
YUKARI: "I guess it's fine?"
YUKARI: "If something seems fishy, you can just get off at the next stop."
MIKA: "Exactly!"
MIKA: "Excuse me? About this train..."
STATION ATTENDANT: "You want a ticket? It's 12,700 Yen!"
MIKA: "What?! But... earlier you said it was just 2300!"
STATION ATTENDANT: "12,700!"
STATION ATTENDANT: "So?"
MIKA: "I don't have that much money!"
YUKARI: "If you really want to get on that badly, I could pay for you?"
MIKA: "For real?! Don't come to me later, saying you want it back, cause that's not possible!"
YUKARI: "Don't worry, it's alright."
YUKARI: "I don't have any use for it anymore, anyway."
CHISATO: "I'm telling you, this is dangerous!"
CHISATO: "You don't even know where it's going..."
MIKA: "It's fine. I'll just ride it till the last stop and then come back."
MIKA: "Jeez, you worry too much!"
STATION ATTENDANT: "If you want to board the train, then do it quickly! It's going to leave."
MIKA: "Yes, I'm coming!"
MIKA: "Well then, I'm off!"
MIKA: "I'll tell you all about it at school tomorrow!"
CHISATO: "Please take care! Get off the train immediately, if it seems dangerous!"
«Train at track 4, heading for Yuuyamigaoka, is leaving. The doors will close now!»
«We ask you to take note of the following:»
«Please do not board the train in any disorderly fashion, such as rushing aboard the train whilst the doors are closing, as such behaviour is extremely dangerous.»
CHISATO: "She's gone..."
YUKARI: "Well, we should leave, too."
CHISATO: "Yes..."
CHISATO: "On our way home, an increasing sense of uneasiness crept over me."
CHISATO: "When I mentioned this to Yukari, she just laughed and said that I worry too much. That Mika of all people should be just fine..."
CHISATO: "I wanted to think so, too, but I just couldn't get rid of that lingering sense of uneasiness."
CHISATO: "As soon as I arrived at home, I tried to contact Mika via her pager several times... but she would not respond."
CHISATO: "My sense of uneasiness grew ever larger... I realised that I should have let Yukari go home alone and stayed with Mika – and I began to regret bitterly that I had not done so."
CHISATO: "...The next day, Mika did not show up to school."
CHISATO: "Yukari..."
YUKARI: "What?"
CHISATO: "Mika still hasn't come back..."
YUKARI: "......Yeah."
CHISATO: "A few days later... A policeman found her right next to the Murayamadai Train Station."
CHISATO: "At this point, apparently she wasn't even able to say her own name anymore."
CHISATO: "And from that day on, she acted like a completely different person and never spoke again."
CHISATO: "There was no way for us to ever learn what had happened to her that night."
CHISATO: "But... maybe she..."

BAD END

STATION ATTENDANT: "I take it you are railroad enthusiasts? How splendid! I'm one, myself, and started working in this business because of that!"
STATION ATTENDANT: "However..."
STATION ATTENDANT: "......"
MIKA: "However what?!"
MIKA: "...huh?"
CHISATO: "This place is..."
[It's hard to see, but this is a graveyard.]
MIKA: "Yukari! Chisato! I had the photos developed!"
YUKARI: "Anything on them?"
MIKA: "Actually, I haven't checked them out, yet, myself..."
YUKARI: "What's this? There's nothing on it..."
MIKA: "N-no way! Take a better look!"
MIKA: "See? Here, this! That looks like an old man whose face is distorted in anguish!"
YUKARI: "What?!"
CHISATO: "Uhm, there's nothing on it...?"
YUKARI: "I told you!"
MIKA: "Oh, yes! Now we're talking! This is what I've been waiting for!"
YUKARI: "Wha... What are you saying! This is just someone's hand being reflected in the mirror!"
MIKA: "Oh, that's all you can think of?"
MIKA: "Then let me ask! Amongst us three, does anyone actually have such big hands?"
YUKARI: "......"
CHISATO: "This is a real spirit photo..."
CHISATO: "Look closely, the wrist is actually transparent..."
MIKA: "Maybe this is who... pushed me on the tracks?" [It's hard to see at first, but there are two eyes.]
CHISATO: "Yes..."
CHISATO: "But please don't hold a grudge against her. It's not her fault alone..."
YUKARI: "Yeah, if you hadn't started meddling, nothing would have happened."
MIKA: "...Huh? What's this?"
YUKARI: "It's that noodle stand! See, there was nothing there, after all!"
CHISATO: "This picture was taken after he'd already disappeared..."
YUKARI: "Chisato... Now you're making the picture feel scary even though nothing's on it..."
CHISATO: "I wonder, if we were able to make that boy happy..."
MIKA: "It's fine!"
MIKA: "He had three female high-school students attend to him! There's no way he's gonna complain!"
MIKA: "Also, he didn't do anything to us, right?"
CHISATO: "Wait... What is this..."
"The next photo showed countless white human shapes boarding that train..."
"Even though there had been just the station attendant and us three on the platform when Mika had taken this picture..."
"That train... Who exactly were its passengers? And where would it bring them?"
"And then there was that little graveyard that we had suddenly been standing in front of, when the platform had disappeared..."
"Those who had been slumbering in the ground, as if reduced to small huddled bodies amongst this vast expanse of culture that is Tokyo..."
"Perhaps they, too, had gone far away, boarding this... last train."
"A train station is a place passed by countless people who come and go."
"People alive, as well as people who died..."
"Those unfortunate people who had become bound to this train station..."
"That boy with the juice..."
"That sorrowful, bitter woman who had lost her way..."
"I think they all had been waiting for this train to come and pick them up..."
"And the final destination of their journey... might well be a quiet and peaceful place:"
