Higurashi When They Cry Hou: Ch.5 Meakashi

<strong>June, 1983. </strong><br><br>The summer heat has arrived earlier than it does most years. <br>By day there are cicadas, and by night, the higurashi.<br><br>Hinamizawa, a small village in the Japanese countryside. <br>While there are fewer than two thousand people there, every year, 'something' happens.<br><br>For the past 4 years, someone has died, and someone else has gone missing. <br>This series of deaths and disappearances is connected to the local resistance against a now-abandoned dam construction project. <br>A murder during the construction, covered up by the local authorities, is being re-enacted year after year. <br>Is it a conspiracy? A coincidence? Or perhaps a curse?<br><br>Someone who was supposed to be there... isn't. <br>Someone who wasn't supposed to be there... is.<br><br>Someone who was alive last night is now dead, and someone who is here right now isn't alive.<br><br>There is no way to avert this tragedy. There is no choice but to give up trying. <br><br>But even so... <i>please don't give up.</i>
