Episode Title:
The Dripping.Episode Description:
A man is on his way home from work. At the Yms-mart, he stops to read a newspaper before deciding it's getting late. However, the moment he steps outside, it begins to rain. He spots an umbrella and wonders if it belonged to a creepy man he just met at the Yms-mart. Figuring what the creepy man doesn't know won't hurt him, the worker takes the umbrella and walks away. However, the creepy man saw him and starts laughing... As the worker walks home, he notices scratch marks on the umbrella's handle and he suddenly hears something behind him. He turns around but finds nothing. Suddenly, he hears the sound again. A breathing sound. He looks and sees, in the reflection of a shop's front window, a woman under the umbrella right behind him. The woman reaches for the handle and the man runs away, dropping the umbrella, but the woman gives chase. When the man loses her, he makes it back home and dries himself off. As he watches TV, he suddenly hears a dripping sound coming outside the door. He takes a look outside and finds nothing, but the dripping gets closer...closer...closer... He opens the door, but finds nothing but a puddle and the umbrella he left behind. That's when he realizes the scratches on the handle actually form kanji for the word, "Drip". Growing impatient with whoever is playing games with him, he tosses the umbrella in the garbage. When he gets back inside and watches TV again, he hears a dripping sound again, only to be relieved when it turns out to be the shower faucet. Then he hears a dripping sound again, and grows frustrated with his apartment. Then a drop of water lands on his leg and a breathing sound starts behind him. He slowly looks up to see the woman from earlier looking down at him with water dripping down her hair. Some time later, another patron at the Yms-mart finds himself in the rain as well and he finds the same umbrella and walks home with it. The worker, gone insane just like the creepy guy from before, mutters to himself as he watches the other man leave, "Go away...Don't come over here...I'm gonna...rain...stop..."
