Komori Housing Complex Council Nazuna Nanakusa Ko Yamori
That day we were accomplices under the apple tree
We tried stepping over the line
Immediate black out
Oops, you're angry...
Chased away to this unfortunate dimension
I can't believe I...
Someone like me...
Of all people, I couldn't...
Wait, no way
I blamed you
Got hold of a secret
The fig leaves go right and left
In a blink of an eye I wake up
But then I'm falling toward the sky
I don't know, I just can't stop
Just one more bite
Again, Fallin' fallin' down in a spiral, falling on a skyscraper
Fallin' fallin' two all alone, we don't even notice the curtain call
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, forever
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, I let myself go
And just like that
The wounds are being filled, yeah
Again, Fallin' fallin' down in a spiral, falling on a skyscraper

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, forever
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, I let myself go
And just like that
The wounds are being filled, yeah
This is so nice.
For the first time ever,
I ventured out at night without telling anyone.
It feels so free.
This is where I belong.
I wish!
I mean, I probably have to go to school and sleep at night.
The swings are so fun for the first time in forever!
Just recently, I started having trouble sleeping.
Yamori
Ko Yamori, age fourteen.
2nd-year in middle school.
I was getting by just fine...
I think.
I'm sorry.
I just don't really understand dating.
It's not that I wasn't happy.
But what could I do?
I really don't get the whole thing about liking or not liking somebody.
Yamori-kun, why did you reject her?
She was crying, you know.
Sorry.
What, that's all?
You're the worst.
Suddenly, I just couldn't be bothered anymore.
Ow...
Swings have more momentum than I thought.
The most pressing issue is that I can't sleep.
Advice online said I should talk to family or someone I can trust.
Someone I can trust, huh?
If I had someone like that this wouldn't be an issue!
Cr-crap!
Did they find out?
That I'm out on my own?

So much stuff about booze!
You sure are enjoying yourselves!
But I've never even tried drinking...
I never knew vending machines were this bright at night.
Oh, you're buying booze.
Nice.
Hold on...
How old are you?
You sure don't look like you're over twenty.
Oh, shoot! Who's this?
But more importantly, I-
No,uh, someone asked me to-
I mean, um, I made a mistake!
Just an honest mistake!
Well, gotta go!
You think that's gonna fool me, delinquent boy?
I-it's not what you think, really.
I don't usually do this kind of thing.
Relax.
I'm not going to take you to the cops or anything.
You can't sleep...
can you, boy?
Let me help you.
Why do you think people stay up at night?
Because there's a show they want to watch or something they want to do?
Or they're worried about tomorrow?
What's with this woman?
A woman...
A woman, right.
What does she mean by "help"?
It all boils down to one reason.
They aren't satisfied with how they spent the day.
Take a look.
See how satisfied they look!
Fast asleep, with no discontent whatsoever!
Aren't they just totally wasted?
Hey, old man!
Huh?
Didja drink plenty?
Yeah, plenty!
Plen'y.
Plenny...
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
'Kay, later then!
Make sure you get home and sleep.
Okay!
Hey!
Did you know those people?
Nope, not at all.
Really?!
You're that casual with strangers?
What are you talking about?
This is the nighttime, y'know.
The time of freedom.
You'll never be satisfied if you don't release your inhibitions...
boy.
H-hey! Are you going home?
I don't get it. Seriously, I don't!
Release inhibitions?
I wouldn't be in this fix if I could do that!
Old man!
Y-yeah!
Oh!
Yea-
I-is he okay?!
He's fine, he's fine.
He's always like this.
He went and did it, huh?
That was a lot...
Old man, don't let the drink consume you!
Yeah.
And clean that up!
Yeah...
Here.
Y-yeah!
Yah. Y-yeah!
So?
How's it feel to release yourself a bit?
Not too bad.
Good.
Hey, you getting sleepy at all?
I guess...
Okay.
Then let's go.
To my place.
Huh?
I want to give advice to people who can't sleep and help them resolve their issues.
This doesn't look like a smutty joint, at least.
Okay then, lie down.
Uh...
What's this...
Just my futon.
Okay, let's sleep.
Y-y-y-you're gonna do dirty stuff to me?!
Huh? Nothing dirty.
Just a guy and a girl, sleeping on the same futon.
That's plenty dirty!
Sorry, gotta go 'cuz I'm scared, goodbye!
Not so fast, boy.
Don't worry, don't worry! I won't do anything.
It's just the tip!
What tip?!
Don't you want to sleep?
Don't worry.
When you wake up, you'll feel refreshed like nothing else!
Close your eyes and don't think.
Now slowly, let yourself breathe.
What am I doing?
Do I just not care anymore?
Still not sleepy?
Oh, uh!
I'm fine.
What is this?
Anyone can tell she's a nutjob.
And yet, why is this so relaxing?
This is what it feels like to sleep with someone?
She might be a bit weird, but I guess she's nice?
I'll pretend to be asleep for a bit and go home.
I'm really good at faking sleep, too.
You asleep?
Wait, are you really asleep?
Hello?
Hey, but you're actually awake, right?
Hello? Boy?
Whew, thank goodness, you really fell asleep.
I can't wait any longer...
Well then...
feeding time.
Wh-what's with this kid?
He tastes so good!
What was that just now?
Wh-why're you awake?
Blood...
My blood?
A-a m-mosquito...
There was this huge mosquito.
Oh! A mosquito!
I got it with a good slap.
I see, a good slap...
Not very convincing, huh?
Nope, not really.
Sorry.
You have blood on your mouth.
No dice, huh?
So, are you, uh, a vampire...
of some sort?
Yeah, I suppose I am.
You are, huh?
Then does that mean I'm a v-vampire now?
Nah, you shouldn't be.
No worries there.
Oh, I'm not?
Then, why aren't I a vampire now?
Rather, why didn't you turn me into one?
What do you mean?
Well, I mean...
Don't vampires suck blood in order to create offspring?
Oh! You mean that kind of thing!
I see, I see!
Yeah, I guess people tend to think that!
To me, sucking blood is like eating.
Eating?
Yeah, I mean, think about it.
Wouldn't it suck if you got new family members every time you ate?
Yeah, that would suck.
Plus freak me out.
Right?
So basically, it depends.
I hear there are vampires who create loads of offspring,
but I'm not interested in that kind of thing.
So?
Huh?
Don't "Huh?" me.
You never answered my question.
Uh? What was it again?
Jeez!
I asked, why won't I turn into a vampire even though you sucked my blood?!
All right, fine. Man, you're loud.
L-loud?!
I'm not being loud!
See, I don't want to go around telling people this...
The reason you're not a vampire...
Or rather, the way a person can become a vampire...
is for that person to fall in love with one.
Lo-
Ah...
Huh?
Okay, I see.
Fall in love, huh?
Um, why are you all embarrassed?
Man, my face is burning!
The beer's so good!
Well anyway, uh...
Basically, when a person who's in love with a vampire gets that vampire to suck their blood,
they become their offspring.
Just like how a child results when a man and a woman in love copulate!
Uh, why the gross analogy all of a sudden?
But it is, right?
Humans can only create offspring through copulation.
D-don't say "copulate"!
What's the matter? How old are you?
I'm fourteen...
What?! You're still a little punk!
At fourteen, you should be all over talk about copulation and stuff.
What's wrong with you?
That's ridiculous! And why do you call it copulation?!
And then comes the l-love gossip, and uh...
Love gossip, right?!
Why do you look kinda put off?!
Well, why do you look kinda embarrassed?
Shut up!
What can I say?
I really don't understand that kind of thing.
Don't you have a crush on anyone at school?
No...
Or rather, I don't like girls.
Huh?! You mean you like boys?
Nice, I approve.
That's not what I mean.
Then what do you mean?
What, that's all?
You're the worst.
Shut up, ugly.
This is why I hate girls.
Okay, I'm off...
The hell with this.
Middle school can be tough, huh?
So you stopped going to school and started fooling around at night.
Well, I know I shouldn't be doing this kind of thing.
Tell me, boy.
How does your first night out feel?
What do you think now that you've taken a step outside the norm?
This place is the furthest you can hope to get from all those things you think are a pain.
It'd be a waste if you didn't keep this kind of thing up.
I was getting by just fine...
I think.
At least, I tried to do the right thing...
because there was nothing I wanted to do or wanted to be.
Who cares?
School's boring, right?
Stay up until you feel satisfied about your day.
That's not a bad way to live.
So yeah, do me a favor and-
Miss Vampire!
Huh? Y-yeah?!
I have a favor to ask of you!
Turn me into a vampire!
H-hold up a sec.
What?
L-like I said, a person has to fulfill certain conditions in order to become a vampire-
I know that!
They need to fall in love with a vampire.
Ah! Don't, it's embarrassing! They need to fall in love with a vampire.
I'd probably never take that leap.
I know I'll just go back to my old life and spend my days in boredom.
But now I've seen it...
the night...
It's the first time I've wanted to be something.
I don't want to dismiss this feeling!
So please, let me fall in love with you!
You're being ridiculous.
It's my policy to not create offspring, y'know.
Just so you know, I'm not going to do anything.
I'm just gonna suck your blood like the vampire that I am.
If you wanna fall in love, go ahead.
I'm Nazuna Nanakusa.
You?
Ko Yamori.
Do you know when human blood tastes best?
At night.
Especially right before a person falls asleep to the moment that they do.
That's because the blood is infused with night.
Um, why the roof?
Because we're closer to the moon, obviously.
What?
If you think about the distance to the moon,
the difference between the ground and the roof is negligible.
That's why I want to infuse more night in you, boy.
You mean I need to stay up late?
Well, I plan on that anyway.
That too, of course, but in order to infuse blood with night - in other words, to stay up late -
you can't just stay awake.
But you wouldn't know what I mean.
Huh?
So I'll teach you...
what it means to enjoy the night.
I'm gonna die!
No, you won't. I'm gonna die!
The call of the night
Shine on me moonlight
The night is for fooling around.
Eye caught by blue light
Let's have some fun, boy.
The two-faced sides of neon lights
Hang on tight.
The call of the night
Take me away, midnight
Bloodshot red eyes
A lullaby for grownups
Loved the nights since I was a kid
I kinda hated going to bed at nine
It just felt like a waste somehow
I wanted to get to know you better
Hey hey
The early bird catches you know what
I wanna see deeper, deeper, deeper
Unravel in deep shades
From 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock
The first time I stepped over you
No, the first I mounted you was at fourteen, I think
Me, just an ignorant wannabe
Led by the hand, everything was new
Your physique and that scent
That dark skin that fits well with the quiet
I was drawn in, submissive to the beckoning
Then you gave me music
You showed me a woman's naked body
Sipped on booze I'd never had
Smoked my old man's butts
What do you think, boy?
Flooded with don't do's
How do you feel?
Smeared with shouldn't know's
Under the screen of darkness, coming to get us
You're always so capricious
The call of the night
Shine on me moonlight
Eye caught by blue light
The two-face sides of neon lights
The call of the night
Take me away, midnight
Bloodshot red eyes
Awesome.
A lullaby for grownups
Isn't it?
