Line 7:
Keiichi attempts to put the past of Hinamizawa behind him but it comes up again when, on the day of the [[Watanagashi Festival]], Tomitake's friend [[Miyo Takano]] tells Keiichi about the legend of [[the curse of Oyashiro]]. That night, Tomitake is drugged by Takano with [[H-173]], an experimental drug meant to induce terminal symptoms of [[Hinamizawa Syndrome]]. Takano and the [[Mountain Hounds]] drop Tomitake's convulsing body off near the public phone booth on the outskirts of Hinamizawa. Tomitake, as a result of his aggravated Hinamizawa Syndrome, claws his throat out in the phone booth. The next day, Keiichi learns from a detective, [[Kuraudo Ooishi]], about Tomitake's death. Keiichi begrudgingly cooperates with the detective in order to discover the truth.
 
Over the course of the investigation, Keiichi meets clandestinely with Ooishi several times and grows increasingly suspicious of his friends as he learns that they all have connections to victims of the yearly murders. Concurrently, Keiichi develops worse symptoms of Hinamizawa Syndrome, compounding his paranoia. One day, Keiichi skips school under the guise of illness and is visited by RenaMion and MionRena. The pair give him a get-well gift in the form of [[Wikipedia:Ohagi|ohagi]] (in the Steam translation, the ohagi is described simply as [[Wikipedia:Mochi|mochi]]). Keiichi, afflicted by Hinamizawa Syndrome, begins to hallucinate Mion and Rena beginbeing angry at Keiicho meeting with Ooishi. After Mion and Rena leave, Keiichi eats an ohagi and hallucinates there being a pin inside one.
 
The following day, Keiichi arrives at school early in search of a self-defense weapon and ends up taking a metal bat from [[Satoshi Houjou|Satoshi Houjou's]] old locker in the classroom. Keiichi carries the bat constantly and practices swinging it as a ruse to throw off suspicion. Rena and Mion begin to worry, as Satoshi did the exact same thing a year earlier when his Hinamizawa Syndrome symptoms worsened. Keiichi's paranoia turns into insanity as he hallucinates himself increasingly under attack from several villagers, including his friends. After hallucinating Rena showing murderous intent towards him, Keiichi runs towards the [[dam construction site]] and collapses.
