Line 20:
When night falls, Rika speaks with [[Hanyuu]], a young girl in a shrine maiden outfit visible only to Rika. During this conversation, Rika reveals that her ability to go backwards into parallel worlds has diminished to the point where she can now only go back to a mere two weeks before the [[Watanagashi Festival]]. Her waning powers have caused Rika to lose hope in her ability to discover who consistently manages to kill [[Miyo Takano]], [[Jirou Tomitake]] and then herself. Rika also reveals that she has lived through so many realities that she is technically over 100 years old. Rika concludes that this fragment is likely going to be her last chance as she believes it is unlikely that she will stumble upon a scenario where the club has been influenced by parallel worlds again.
After some time, [[Ritsuko Mamiya]] ends up being killed by Sonozaki yakuza for attempting to steal money from the Sonozaki family. This results in her lover, [[Teppei Houjou]] being forced to return to [[Hinamizawa]]. Upon returning, Teppei finds Satoko and forces her to stay with him. Teppei's return crushes Rika's hope for the world of ''Minagoroshi-hen'' as everything prior to this had been going surprisingly well. Furthermore, Rika has never been able to save Satoko from her abusive uncle in any prior world that Rika has been in. Unlike prior worlds, however, the rest of the club decides to take nonviolent action to save Satoko and ends up organizing a protest group that repeatedly visits the [[Child Welfare Office|child welfare office]] demanding that Satoko be taken into protective custody. After rousing the support of all of the [[Hinamizawa school]]'s students, several attendees of [[Angel Mort]], over 100 villagers from Hinamizawa, and the Sonozaki yakuza, the child consultation center caves to the group's demands and prioritizes Satoko's case. After a lengthy phone call, Rika manages to convince Satoko to admit to the abuse, allowing the police to raid the Houjou household and save Satoko.
Following this turn of events, Rika is filled with determination to change her fate and discover who is behind her death as well as the deaths of [[Jirou Tomitake]] and [[Miyo Takano]]. Rika makes several requests of Jirou, Miyo, [[Kyousuke Irie]], and detective [[Kuraudo Ooishi]] to protect her. Miyo, who controls a high-end security team known as the [[Yamainu]], promises to have a team of bodyguards protect Rika and Ooishi does everything within his power to accommodate Rika's requests. Despite her warnings, Jirou and Miyo never take Rika's warnings of their deaths seriously.
