Susuhara goes to the hospital to tend to sore joints, owing to his experience in the dream. While in the waiting room, he finds Kurokami being pushed in a wheelchair by her father. As he attempts to reach out to her, the two are again pulled into a dream world. The pair discover that Kamenuma has been pulled into the dream as well. The blob of flesh reappears, crushing Kamenuma and further wounding Susuhara. When Susuhara awakens back in the hospital waiting room, Kurokami abruptly stands from her wheelchair and slices open his neck with a box cutter before doing the same to her own neck.
Susuhara awakens in a hospital bed, happy to have survived Kurokami's attack and escaped the violent dreams. When he looks outside, he finds the

Line 42:
[[Suzumu Susuhara]] is goaded into joining the Local Community Service Club by the school nurse, [[Mayu Hinagata]]. In his first outing with the club, Susuhara and Minobe pair together to run a fundraiser. While there, Minobe tells Susuhara about her "other self", Elice of Wonderland. Meanwhile, Elice and Mr. Rabbit lose their game of ssech, meaning that Elice will be forced to join into the Ssech King's family. As part of this, she is horrifically mutated into a grotesque caterpillar.
The next day, Susuhara meets one of the other club members, the mysterious [[Toé Kurokami]]. Kurokami is startled by Susuhara's presence and avoids him. That night, Susuhara is woken from sleep by the sound of knocking. When he opens his door, he finds Elice's Wonderland outside. Elice/Minobe insists that Wonderland is reality and the other world is the dream but also tells Susuhara not to think about it too much. The two bond, leading Susuhara to claim he will accept her no matter what. Elice/Minobe begins to undress and reveals her caterpillar form. Before she can turn Susuhara into a caterpillar, a gigantic monster with wooden horns rips open the ceiling. The monster kills Elice/Minobe and lifts Susuhara into the sky
Susuhara wakes and finds Minobe's remains strewn across his room. He runs outside but finds that the world has been plunged into darkness. He is approached by Kurokami, who embraces him.

In the ensuing days, Susuhara, Harumiya, Minobe, and Nunokawa are all plagued by nightmares. [[Mayu Hinagata]] comes to believe that Susuhara can relieve these nightmares, which is confirmed when Hinagata and Susuhara visit each of the girls. The pair attempt to relieve Kurokami's nightmares as well, however Susuhara's presence only causes Kurokami intense pain. That night, Harumiya tells Susuhara he isn't allowed to talk to Minobe or Nunokawa when she isn't around. Shortly after, both Minobe and Nunokawa send him disturbing text messages; Nunokawa's is laced with insults about Harumiya and Minobe's includes a picture of her own leg with a gaping cut on her ankle. Susuhara has a dream wherein the three girls rip each other apart, with Harumiya being the last one standing. When he wakes up, the concerned Susuhara runs to the LCSC clubroom and finds it on fire, with the bodies of the three girls in the room's center. He embraces a figure similar to Kurokami as the flames surround him.
==== Rokugamihime: Rokugami Princess ====
This story takes place shortly after the rummage sale as it occurred in "Kizuatohime: Scar Princess"; in this version of events, Susuhara catches a cold that forces him to leave the sleepover wherein Harumiya would announce that they are dating. He has a dream involving the events of "Kizuatohime: Scar Princess" and rejects Harumiya after she confesses to him. While this upsets Harumiya, the two remain friends and their time at the LCSC continues unabated.
LCSC supervisor, [[Mayu Hinagata]], tells Susuhara of the history of the Iwaimoto Shrine. The story flashes back to a time roughly 1000 years prior, wherein a group of hunters led by [[Mutsu]] are attempting to hunt for food on a mountain belonging to the deer god Rokugami. During the hunt, Mutsu runs into a wandering priestess, [[Suzunome]], and the two fall in love. Suzunome stays in Mutsu's village due to her grandmother's wounded leg and the villagers ask her to channel Rokugami to save them from an inadequate autumn harvest. Suzunome performs a ritual at a dilapidated building that would one day become Iwaimoto Shrine. Her body is possessed by Rokugami, who declares that he will send deer to the villagers for seven days after the full moon to serve as food for the village to survive autumn. Furthermore, the deer's golden antlers could be sold to nobles for high prices. The villagers followed Rokugami's instructions, which allowed them to prosper.
Hinagata explains that this story is an abridged version of the truth; after surviving autumn, the villagers grew greedy and began hunting deer on Rokugami's mountain in search of more golden antlers. The villagers massacre the deer on the mountain. As punishment, a snowfall of black soot rains over the village, destroying their crops, irreversibly staining all of the golden antlers black and tarnishing their meat. The only way the village can save themselves from the soot is for one of them to be sacrificed; the sacrificed's bloodline must carry the soot for eternity. After some deliberating, the villagers attempt to minimize the curse by using Suzunome as a sacrifice. They capture her and force her into the village's large bell, along with all of the soot they could gather. Mutsu attempts to save her but is unsuccessful and quickly banished from the village. By the 17th century, Suzunome's descendants had accumulated so much soot that there was a danger of the seal breaking; to combat this, the villagers invoked a magical spell that would induce multiple offspring. Suzunome's 17th century descendant had quintuplets, the descendants of whom are Hinagata, Kurokami, Harumiya, Minobe, and Nunokawa.
Meanwhile, [[Sho Kamunuma]] is at a karaoke with Kurokami. While there, the two get into a fight that ends with Kurokami's doll breaking. This causes the spirit of Rokugami to possess Kurokami; Rokugami proceeds to brutally kill Kamenuma. Kurokami, now possessed by the spirit of Rokugami, encounters Susuhara at the Iwaimoto Shrine. After a short conversation, Rokugami ignites all of the soot worldwide, causing most of mankind to catch fire and die.
