What will you do if you witness someone glitch out of reality, and you just start forgetting him, and when you ask about him, everyone claims they don't remember such a person? This is Episode 2: No One Named "Kenji Morita" of my original anime project.

[ Scene 1: At home ] ‒ Time: 11 : 40 pm

Akari is sitting on the couch, reading "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World," a book by Haruki Murakami, on a shelf beside him, with a cup of coffee.

Akari: "Is what that driver said actually real? I can't find a logical explanation though..."

takes a sip of the coffee.

Akari: "In that incident, there wasn't much blood on the ground. Maybe the victim is still alive."

11: 50 pm

Akari closes the book and opens the T.V.

Akari checking the watch: "I guess it's almost time. 10 minutes."

T.V. News: "The driver, Kenji Morita, who was involved in yesterday's incident, was interrogated by the police. Kenji Morita claims that he doesn't remember driving at this late and he gets a headache whenever trying to remember the incident..."

Akari closes the T.V.

Akari, serious look: "wait what?"

Akari stands up, puts on his coat, and rushes out of the house. The T.V. opens again.

[ Scene 2: The police station ] ‒ Time: 11: 55

2 cops talking in the hallway, outside the interrogation room.

Cop1 scratching his head in confusion: "Man, this driver just needs a therapist at this point."

Cop2: "Yeah, he was probably drunk or something!"

Cop1 laughing: "yeah I agree!"

Cop2: "Or maybe he was just lying!"

A cop is leaving the interrogation room with a serious face.

Cop3: "If he were lying or needed a therapist, then Akari wouldn't have taken this case seriously. There is something wrong going on."

Cop2: "Do you actually believe that guy? Like how can someone glitch out of reality thats so illogical!"

Cop1: "Yeah. Also, just so you know detective Akari believes that there is always a logical explanation, so he is probably searching for clues now."

Akari asks: "Where is the interrogation room?"

Cop2: "Speak of the devil.."

Cop1: "Why are you here?"

Akari: "I am here because I am a detective, and my job is to investigate. Now, can you tell me where the interrogation room is?"

Cop3, pointing at the room behind him: "Here. We asked him, but he just can't remember anything about the incident."

Akari enters the room.

Akari: "Kenji-san, don't you remember telling me that you saw the guy glitch?!"

Kenji: "I..I don't remember. I barely recognize you."

Akari talking to the cop beside him: "Did anything happen that made him lose his memory?"

Cop4: "No. There is nothing wrong with his brain. We sent him to a doctor, and he said it's all fine."

Akari checks the watch; it's 11:59 pm.

Akari: "its almost midnight."

Kenji: "Sorry, but I don't remember anything related to this incident. I remember what happened before it, though."

Akari: "What happened? What can you remember exactly?"

Kenji: "I remember heading ho‒"

Kenji starts glitching out, then suddenly he disappears. Akari and Cop4 were shocked for a moment, then their shocked expressions slowly faded.

Akari: "wh. what? I. I remember someone was sitting in front of me just now on that chair."

Cop4: "Yes. I think..was there?.. Someone..?"

Akari: "Yes. There was! A guy sat in front of us here! He was going to say something! Then he suddenly disappeared! Don't you remember?"

Cop4: "Who are you talking about? Sir, there was no one here."

Akari: "Th. There was... what did just happen?"

Cop4: "Sir, can you leave the room? You shouldn't be here."

Akari leaves the room and asks the 3 cops who were still standing and chatting outside the room.

Akari: "Hey, wasn't there someone inside just now? I don't remember his name, but there was someone inside this room, we were interrogating, right?"

Cop2: "What are you talking about? There was only you and the other cop inside."

Akari heads back home

[ Scene 3: At home ] ‒ 12: 05 am

Akari enters the home and finds the T.V. on, he closes it.

Akari: "I remember closing this before leaving, though..Do I?"

Akari gets a notebook and writes down:

"There was someone in the interrogation room, he said. "I remember heading ho‒" then just glitched out. I need to investigate this case."

Then lays down on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Akari: "I guess..I can't find a logical explanation for this... but I would never give up."

Then he falls asleep.

After credits...

[ Scene 4: At home ]

Akari wakes up.

Akari: "Why did I stay awake till midnight yesterday again?"
