== Plot ==

 

The next day, Satoko doesn't show up to school. That day, [[Ooishi Kuraudo]] meets with Keiichi for the first time. Keichii gets a strange feeling of hatred for Ooishi despite having never met him before. After a small greeting, Ooishi asks Keiichi to find Satoko and bring her to him for questioning. Ooishi acts in a brusque manner while talking to Keiichi and ends up hurting Keiichi and drawing the attention of Irie. Irie takes Keiichi to the nurse's office and informs him that Ooishi has been harassing Satoko for some time. Irie explains the death of Satoko's aunt and the disappearance of her uncle and tells Keiichi that Ooishi is "Oyashiro-sama's servant."

The next day, Keiichi decides that, even if Satoko's uncle survived, he'll kill him again and again until he stays dead. Keiichi takes a hatchet from his shed and bikes over to Satoko's house and silently enters in search of Satoko's uncle. However, Keiichi is shocked to find that Satoko's uncle isn't around and Satoko herself is lying in a boiling bathtub, her skin bright red. Keiichi quickly takes her to the clinic only to find it surroudned by police cars. By eavesdropping Keiichi learns that Irie committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills and Ooishi has gone missing. Keiichi and Satoko instead opt to get some clothes for Satoko from Rika's house. As they approach the shrine, Keiichi confides in Satoko his crime and the bizarre result of his curses as well as his confusing reality. Satoko seems to believe him until he confesses to murdering her uncle. The mention of her uncle causes her to become angry with Keiichi and she runs towards the Furude Shrine. Once she gets there, however, she and Keiichi discover Rika's mutilated body being pecked at by crows. Satoko accuses Keiichi of the murder, pointing to the hatchet he is still carrying as the weapon and she runs off towards a bridge. Keiichi follows her, desperate to convince her that she's innocent. While on the bridge, Satoko comes to the conclusion that Keiichi is innocent, but is also haunted by some demon. Satoko screams about how Oyashiro-sama's curse has taken everything away from her and she pushes Keiichi into the rushing stream below. As he falls, Keiichi wishes for one final curse, and curses the entirety of Hinamizawa.
