9화: 소년은 자신의 반 친구들에 대한 어두운 비밀을 드러내는 저주받은 DVD를 발견한다

9

A man frustrated with his life is rummaging through junk in his apartment when he finds an old DVD; a message to himself in the future, recorded as an elementary school graduation class project. In the recording, his child self describes his dream to become a mangaka, before it freezes and distorts; his onscreen child self then reproaches his future self's failed pointless life, which he'd never said as a child, before the footage ends. On his way back from a nearby convenience store, he is accosted by screaming monochrome apparitions, who dissolve into his elementary school classmates and vanish. He later learns that his old classmates had all been disappearing since the last reunion, except for himself and Shigeru Saitou, whom he visits to try to get to the bottom of it. He believes it to be a curse for not achieving his childhood dream, and he suspects Saitou had avoided the curse by achieving his. Saitou concedes it as possible, then excuses himself to fetch drinks. The man decides to play Saitou's DVD out of curiosity; a timid child Saitou addresses the camera, reminding him that Saitou was often bullied. Suddenly, the footage distorts, and child Saitou congratulates his future self for almost achieving his dream. The man finds a copy of their elementary school yearbook on the coffee table, with all of their classmates' photos crossed out, except his and Saitou's; child Saitou claims they all deserve death for bullying him, and declares that as his dream... and now there is only one left... An adult monochrome Saitou appears behind him, with a distorted twisted smile... (Source: Wikipedia)
