SOME PEOPLE NEED TO DIE
PART ONE

Death always has a price. A landlord discovers a kodokushi death in his apartment building then hires a forensic cleaning company to make space for a young couple — but there won’t be enough bleach to finish the job.

Kodokushi (孤独死) describes cases of unaccompanied deaths, where corpses remain undiscovered for long periods of time, sometimes even for months or years. English-language publications usually translate the phenomenon with the term “lonely death”.
