Episode Title:
In the Water.
Episode Description:
Late one night, at a closed swimming pool, a teenage boy, TÅru, sneaks into pool, recalling how his gym teacher announces the prefectural tournament next week and expects no one to slack off. He says to TÅru that he expects good results. In the present, TÅru decides he needs late night practice. He notices how the pool looks creepy, but undeterred he dives into the water, awakening something in the process... As he swims through the pool, winning the tournament on his mind, he hears something splashing nearby. Convinced it is just his imagination, he resumes swimming, unaware that he is being followed by black, hairlike tendrils. Finally, he reaches the end of the pool, and it is then he notices black hair in his hands. Looking up, he sees more of the hair in the center of the pool, hair belonging to someone, or something. Terrified, TÅru tries to swim away, but is entangled in the hair and even hears something cackling in the water. He exits the pool but when he turns around to face the creature, he sees it looming just under the water. He tries to run, but the hair wraps around his throat. He hears a splash and TÅru sees the source of the hair: a giant fish with a woman's head and glowing yellow eyes. The fish woman laughs as it pulls him under the water.
