2006/06/05 23:35 Hasumi: Are you still awake?
2006/06/05 23:36 Takeshi: What happened?
2006/06/05 23:38 Hasumi: I'm on the subway. I fell asleep and missed my stop.
2006/06/05 23:40 Takeshi: Get off at the next station and transfer to another train.
2006/06/05 23:41 Hasumi: Strange thing. I've been waiting for 20 minutes, but the train isn't stopping.
2006/06/05 23:43 Takeshi: Well, it has to stop eventually.
2006/06/05 23:43 Hasumi: I hope you're right.
2006/06/05 23:44 Takeshi: Maybe you took the wrong line?
2006/06/05 23:45 Hasumi: No, it's the same line I always take?
2006/06/05 23:46 Takeshi: Is there anyone else with you on the train?
2006/06/05 23:47 Hasumi: No, I'm all alone. The other cars are empty. I'm a little scared.
2006/06/05 23:47 Takeshi: Go to the first car and try to talk to the driver.
2006/06/05 23:47 Hasumi: OK
2006/06/05 23:48 Takeshi: Ask him when the next station will be.
2006/06/05 23:53 Hasumi: The window in the driver's cab is tinted. I can't see him.
2006/06/05 23:55 Takeshi: Try knocking.
2006/06/05 23:56 Hasumi: I knocked, no one answered.
2006/06/05 23:57 Takeshi: That's strange.
2006/06/05 23:59 Hasumi: The train is slowing down. Looks like we're stopping now.
2006/06/05 23:59 Takeshi: Good.
2006/06/06 00:00 Hasumi: We stopped at a station. Should I get off?
2006/06/06 00:00 Takeshi: Of course, get off.
2006/06/06 00:02 Hasumi: OK. I'm out. I'm on the platform. I don't know this station.
2006/06/06 00:03 Takeshi: I'll come and pick you up. Tell me the name of the station? I'll find it on the map.
2006/06/06 00:04 Hasumi: This station has no name.
2006/06/06 00:04 Takeshi: Come on. There must be a name.
2006/06/06 00:05 Hasumi: I don't see any names.
2006/06/06 00:05 Takeshi: Are there no signs?
2006/06/06 00:06 Hasumi: All of them just say "Subway Station".
2006/06/06 00:06 Takeshi: What about the schedule?
2006/06/06 00:07 Hasumi: There's nothing. I won't be able to go back anyway. All trains stop running at midnight.
2006/06/06 00:08 Takeshi: Isn't there an electronic board on the wall? It should have the station name.
2006/06/06 00:10 Hasumi: There is nothing on the walls.
2006/06/06 00:10 Takeshi: Well, then just go up the escalator and see if there's some kind of sign or something.
2006/06/06 00:10 Hasumi: OK
2006/06/06 00:14 Takeshi: Well, is there anything?
2006/06/06 00:16 Hasumi: Nothing.
2006/06/06 00:18 Takeshi: Go outside. See if there are any pointers there.
2006/06/06 00:20 Hasumi: There is nothing here.
2006/06/06 00:20 Takeshi: Are there any buildings nearby?
2006/06/06 00:23 Hasumi: Yes. There are a few. But it seems no one lives in them. No lights are on at all.
2006/06/06 00:23 Takeshi: I don't know what to do. I'm worried.
2006/06/06 00:25 Hasumi: Don't worry. I'll move away from the station and catch a taxi or a ride.
2006/06/06 00:25 Takeshi: Good idea.
2006/06/06 00:26 Hasumi: It's very cold here.
2006/06/06 00:27 Takeshi: Be careful.
2006/06/06 00:41 Hasumi: There are no taxis or rides here. What should I do?
2006/06/06 00:43 Takeshi: Maybe there's a phone booth nearby. Try to call a taxi.
2006/06/06 00:43 Hasumi: And what will I tell them? I don't know where I am.
2006/06/06 00:44 Takeshi: It's a vicious circle. Try calling the operator and ask them to trace the call.
2006/06/06 00:44 Hasumi: I don't see any phone booths. It's as if I've ended up far from the world.
2006/06/06 00:48 Takeshi: Stop any car. Tell them you're in a desperate situation.
2006/06/06 00:58 Hasumi: The streets are completely empty. I haven't seen a single car the whole time I've been here. I'm very scared.
2006/06/06 00:59 Takeshi: Don't be afraid.
2006/06/06 01:00 Hasumi: Easy for you to say. You're safe, at home and in the warmth. And I'm stuck here. I'll just freeze.
2006/06/06 01:01 Takeshi: Don't panic. Everything is fine. We'll handle this.
2006/06/06 01:11 Hasumi: You're right. Sorry. I've calmed down. I'll just walk along the highway until I see a car.
2006/06/06 01:12 Takeshi: Just be careful.
2006/06/06 01:14 Hasumi: Of course.
2006/06/06 01:18 Takeshi: I'm anxious for you.
2006/06/06 01:30 Hasumi: The lights by the highway went out. Complete darkness. I can't see anything.
2006/06/06 01:31 Takeshi: That's it. I'm calling the police.
2006/06/06 01:33 Hasumi: How will they find me now?
2006/06/06 01:34 Takeshi: I don't know.
2006/06/06 01:36 Hasumi: This is bad. This is very bad.
2006/06/06 01:37 Takeshi: Can you see anything at all?
2006/06/06 01:39 Hasumi: Not much.
2006/06/06 01:41 Takeshi: Are you sure it's safe to keep going? Have you ever walked in the cold and dark before?
2006/06/06 01:43 Hasumi: I just don't know what else to do.
2006/06/06 01:45 Takeshi: Be careful, make sure your phone battery doesn't die. It's your lifeline.
2006/06/06 01:48 Hasumi: I hear something in the distance. A strange noise.
2006/06/06 01:49 Takeshi: What is it?
2006/06/06 01:50 Hasumi: It sounds like drumming. Drums or bells.
2006/06/06 01:51 Takeshi: What could it be?
2006/06/06 01:52 Hasumi: I'll just keep walking forward.
2006/06/06 01:54 Takeshi: Maybe it would be safer to wait at the station until sunrise...
2006/06/06 01:56 Hasumi: Maybe...
2006/06/06 01:58 Takeshi: Just go back to the station, Hasumi. When you're lost, it's best to turn back.
2006/06/06 02:00 Hasumi: There's a tunnel ahead.
2006/06/06 02:01 Takeshi: Don't go into the tunnel. It's not safe. You could get hit by a car. Just turn back. Wait for the first morning train.
2006/06/06 02:05 Hasumi: I just heard someone shout behind me. When I turned around, there was a person with one leg standing about 10 meters behind me. Then he disappeared. I'm so scared, I can't calm down.
2006/06/06 02:05 Takeshi: Run away from there. Can you hide in the tunnel?
2006/06/06 02:07 Hasumi: I was so frightened. I'm afraid to look back. I want to go back to the station, but I can't turn around.
2006/06/06 02:08 Takeshi: No. Run. Don't you dare go back.
2006/06/06 02:10 Hasumi: I can't run. I can't even walk. The sound of drums is getting closer.
2006/06/06 02:11 Takeshi: Calm down and listen to me, okay? If you go through the tunnel, you'll be safe.
2006/06/06 02:19 Hasumi: I called my parents. My dad said he'd call the police, but the sound is getting closer. I don't want to die.
2006/06/06 02:20 Takeshi: Are you okay?
2006/06/06 02:24 Hasumi: I fell and hurt my leg. My whole face is in tears.
2006/06/06 02:25 Takeshi: Oh god. How I wish I could help you.
2006/06/06 02:28 Hasumi: i'm still alive. I'm bleeding after that fall, when I tripped and broke my heel.
2006/06/06 02:29 Takeshi: Just keep walking. Don't stop. Let me know as soon as you get out of the tunnel.
2006/06/06 02:31 Hasumi: I'm out of the tunnel. The sound is getting closer and closer.
2006/06/06 02:32 Takeshi: If you see any house, you can take shelter there.
2006/06/06 02:35 Hasumi: Someone is standing in the distance. It looks like a man, and he has a car.
2006/06/06 02:36 Takeshi: Who could be there at such a late hour? This is suspicious...
2006/06/06 02:37 Hasumi: I'll ask him for help.
2006/06/06 02:38 Takeshi: Wait, Hasumi! Don't trust him! Something is wrong here!
2006/06/06 02:44 Hasumi: Sorry for worrying you. This guy turned out to be very kind. He even offered to drive me home.
2006/06/06 02:45 Takeshi: That's too suspicious! Why would anyone be standing on the highway at such a late hour? I don't like this.
2006/06/06 02:47 Hasumi: We are heading towards the mountains. He is taking me further and further from the city. He isn't talking to me anymore, not at all.
2006/06/06 02:48 Takeshi: Hasumi, try to get out of the car!
2006/06/06 02:58 Hasumi: Everything is getting strange. He started muttering some nonsense to himself. Battery is almost dead. I'll try to run away.
This was the last message from Hasumi. Exactly at 3:00 AM, her cell phone went silent. No one ever saw her again.
