Needy Girl Overdose (2026) s01e03 Episode Script

Internet Overdose

Hello?
Can you hear me?
Hello? Have you come to?
Are you okay?
Yes. Nothing's particularly different
from usual.
I still can't sleep, same as always.
I'd appreciate it if you could prescribe me
sleeping pills and psych meds.
I've gotten so used to relying on meds
to forcibly shut my brain down.
At this point, I've forgotten
what it feels like to fall asleep naturally.
I can't stop thinking about painful things
whenever I'm lying in bed.
Yeah. Before I know it, I start fantasizing
about killing off, one by one,
all the people I hate in my head.
Well, not specific people exactly.
More like an abstract idea.
Old classmates I couldn't stand,
followers, stuff like that.
A platonic ideal of a person I hate
and stab them to death.
Stab.
It's not fun.
I'm killing them
because I have to, that's all.
My hands get dirty too,
and it feels awful.
Thank you. I'll make another appointment.
This should keep me going for a while.
I think I can finally sleep.
Is it finally starting?!
I'm way too hyped for this,
holy shit dude!
Our guest today is KAngel, the major
streamer with ten million followers!
We're delighted to have her with us.
In the second half of the program,
we'll also be bringing highlights
from her recent smash success 10 Million
Followers Celebration Live Show
in a special digest, so don't miss it!
Thank you so much for joining us today.
Sure thing!
Let's jump right in. Your new song,
INTERNET OVERDOSE.
What feelings did you pour into it
when you wrote the lyrics?
I don't care about your new boyfriend,
but I told you not to meet him out in public!
Why can't we at least pretend
to be a proper married couple?
Stop it! Not in front of the child!
I'm not the only one at fault here!
Don't hide behind our daughter!
You barely even love her!
Throw that filthy thing away!
You'll be able to enjoy some peace
and quiet at Grandma's house.
You can stay as long as you like.
Is that Grandpa?
That's right. He passed away
quite a while ago, just like that.
Aren't you lonely?
Well, everyone dies eventually,
you know.
It wouldn't be strange
if I suddenly died either.
What happens when you die?
You're reborn again and again
in a more beautiful form,
as many times as the good things
you did while you were alive.
Your grandpa had
a bad drinking problem.
Maybe that's what he was reborn as.
Do you really believe in reincarnation?
Maybe it's just a comfort.
But even if it's a lie, you need
to believe someone will save you.
Otherwise life's too hard.
Here, say "ahh."
Was my room always this small?
They're just my old things.
There are anime and games in the closet,
so you can play with whatever you like.
There might be some of your aunt's
stuff in there, too.
Grandma never really got around
to throwing out my toys.
How dare you! That's cowardly!
Come on!
Everyone's waiting!
To the stage, Makuhari!
That's right! Let's dance together!
- NIGHT ON THE GALACTIC RAILROAD
- O-Oh no! A girl is falling from the sky!
Stop it! Not in front of the child!
I'm not the only one at fault here!
Don't hide behind our daughter!
-You barely even love her!
-You barely even love her!
I'm Ame. I'll save the world.
I'm Ame! I'll save this world.
I'm an angel who came here
to save this painful world.
Ame!
I get depressed a lot too,
but I'll definitely save everyone, okay?
It's going to be okay!
It'll get easier, I promise.
A future as sweet as candy
is waiting for you!
You let her out of your sight?!
What were you thinking?!
I suppose that's what I should
expect from his parent.
This child will be living with me.
Tokyo would be better for you, anyway.
It's going to be okay.
It'll get easier, I promise.
A future as sweet as candy
is waiting for me.
See you later.
You're coming in at this hour?
School's practically over already.
Didn't your mother get mad at you?
Do you understand
the responsibility here?
If one student does this, everyone else
might copy you and start misbehaving.
Mom was sleeping, too.
Why didn't she wake her up?
Who knows? Maybe her mom's
a yakuza or something.
Do you even understand
what I'm saying?!
Look at me when I'm talking to you!
She's not one of us.
Why not? You said it was good.
You can afford a little spending money.
I need to buy my daughter
some new clothes.
Come on.
I'm not moving back.
You're the only one I've got now.
Please.
I wanna die.
Hey, what do you even live for?
I don't know.
I want to go to school.
All right! Ready, go!
Come on, dance!
I'll make you go viral!
Do the Para Para!
C'mon, dance like an idiot!
Hey! Move already!
Man, you're killing the vibe. Right?
Whatever. He's gross. Let's go.
- School is filled with
nothing but dumb people.
- This is lame.
- Next time we'll shake him down.
- Damn, that's hardcore!
Straight-up crime!
- GUIDANCE COUNSELOR
- How many times do I have to tell you
to come to school on time?!
- Being on time is a basic rule of life.
- Every time you repeat this,
you lose trust.
Are you even listening?!
- GUIDANCE COUNSELOR
- You think it's just your parents and teachers
nagging you, don't you?
- God is watching, too!
- At this rate, you won't survive in society,
and you'll end up miserable!
Hey! Say something!
There is no God.
"Mama just killed a man."
"Put a gun against his head,"
"pulled my trigger"
Man, I'm bored.
Ain't there anything fun to do?
Hey!
You in some kind of trouble or somethin'?
Huh?! This is none of your business!
Shut up, idiot.
Huh?! You're such a fuckin' creep!
Thanks.
The phenomenon known as myself
is but one blue light in a hypothetical
organic alternating-current lamp.
Together with the scenery
and everyone else,
flickering, flickering restlessly
Yet continuing to shine, undeniably.
One blue light in a karmic
alternating-current lamp.
You're ugly, inside and out.
Hey, not the face!
It'll be fine. The guys were going to town
on that otaku's face, too.
You girls are actually bullying her?
Like you guys don't do the same thing!
Shut up. We're just messing around
with that otaku.
Are you being serious?
Daughter of a whore!
You should fight back, too.
Parents and teachers
are just playing their roles.
And the bullies in class
aren't that impressive either.
If you push back even
a little, they'll run.
Everyone's just pretending.
It's all make-believe.
I'm scared.
Is that so? Then stay scared
for the rest of your life.
No one's going to save you.
This isn't an anime.
Maybe my life's just
never going to get better.
See?
Something good happened, right?
So make it count.
It's probably stuck on inspection. I hope they give us like 1,000 in-game currency. Yeah.
I wanted to expel some stamina before I go to bed, but guess I'll just cry myself to sleep.
Oh well, I'm just gonna give up and go to bed. Gonna go recharge. All right,
good night all. Ame I'll never go to a place filled with dumb people ever again.
Ame I'll never go to a place filled
with dumb people ever again.
Don't be such a troll
just because you're online.
Try to stay positive.
But I always feel like I want to die.
We're all stuck in this shit pile,
so we're all the same.
I just got fired from my temp job,
but I'm still alive.
Let's take it easy
and keep our heads up.
Thanks. I hope things
will work out for you, too.
Like it. Dislike it.
I hope that man dies!
What about me?!
What about me? What about me?!
I hope that man dies!
Hey! You know what time it is?
Keep it down!
What about me? What about me?
- I've had it! I'll kill that crazy bitch!
What about me?! What about me?!
- Shut up! You want me to call the cops?!
Hey! Are you listening?!
Ame!
Ame! I did it!
Congratulations. You really did it.
How many did you whack?
Just the one guy
who punched me the most.
But they were totally terrified!
Thank you.
Ame, you saved me. That's why
Ame
You stopped going to school,
but I think of you as my angel.
So then
take them all out.
So you got yourself
a boyfriend or something?
Well, at least you were born
with a pretty face.
Guys will come flocking to you.
You'll never have to worry
about money.
Hey, I raised you this far, didn't I?
Don't you think you could repay
your mom just a little?
My current boyfriend's
got plenty of money.
If you entertain him a bit, I'm sure
he'd give you some spending money.
- 24 MON
- What do you think?
It'd only be fair if I took
enough for the ren—
Die!
Ow!
In your next life,
you'll be a cockroach.
Die! Die! Die!
This time, I really want to die for sure.
Come on, don't say that now.
Is death the only solution?
I wish you had waited for me.
We'll see each other again soon.
Where are you? You'll pay for this.
You'll pay!
You'll pay!
You'll pay!
Earlier this afternoon, a violent incident
believed to have stemmed from
a dispute between students occurred
at a junior high school in the city.
The victim was a male student
on the second floor of the school.
According to people involved,
the boy retaliated against bullying
that he had been subjected to.
He attacked a classmate
with a baseball bat.
However, the classmate fought back,
and the boy suffered serious injuries.
It's okay. It's going to be okay.
It'll get easier, I promise.
Those moments right before I fall asleep
are the only times I'm happy.
Good night.
Hi, cuties!
Hi, cutie!
I'm the Internet Angel, KAngel!
There's something
I want to tell everyone!
Will you hear me out?!
Yeah!
Hey, you little otaku.
You guys are way too soft on streamers!
I mean, I get how good it feels.
Devoting yourself, your everything,
to the one you worship and love.
It's simple.
But streamers will lie through
their teeth whenever they need
all just to sell you a mesmerizing dream.
For example, saying they were bullied
and had no friends growing up,
or that their parents were abusive,
or that they ran away from home
back in middle school.
They'll try to squeeze out
as much sympathy as they can,
turning the tiniest bit of bad luck
into a huge sob story.
Maybe part of the appeal is not knowing
how much is real and how much is a lie.
If it's a spell that can't be broken,
then the truth and lies
don't really matter.
When you're watching KAngel,
just let yourself be wrapped
in a sweet hallucination.
This angel will always save you guys
on the other side of the screen.
The ones who send the most
on superchats get priority, though.
Just kidding.
Sweet dreams.
It's not like sleeping a lot
would make you happy,
but at least the unhappy things
will start to fade.
So let's hang out again, okay?
Good night, otaku.
Bless!
Tonight we brought you an episode
that could be called the origin story
of KAngel's INTERNET OVERDOSE,
along with footage
from her wonderful live performance.
Wow, so those were the kinds of feelings
that went into it.
Thank you very much for joining us today.
Thanks!
