Watanagashi-hen: Difference between revisions

Line 21:
One day, Keiichi and Shion visit the toy shop where Keiichi originally received the doll and Shion asks him to buy the same doll for her. In the shop, Keiichi is shocked to find Mion working there. Shion explains once again that she is Mion's twin sister, laughing at the whole affair. Following this incident, Mion and Keiichi stop speaking to each other for a period of time.
 
At the Watanagashi Festival, the club meets up with [[Jirou Tomitake]], [[Miyo Takano]] and Shion. Shion and Miyo tell Keiichi about the [[The curse of Oyashiro|gruesome past of the Watanagashi Festival]], much to Keiichi and Mion's dismay. During Rika's performance at the Festival, Shion pulls Keiichi aside to spy on Jirou and Miyo, who seem to be fiddling with the lock on a [[Saiguden|storage shed]] behind the temple. Shion and Keiichi eventually join Jirou and Miyo when they enter the storage shed and discover an array of old torture implements inside. While inside, Tomitake and Shion hear an increasingly loud noise reminiscent of a girl jumping on a wooden floor, though Keiichi and Miyo appear unable to hear the noise.
 
Soon after leaving the shed and parting with Keiichi and Shion, Jirou and Miyo are found dead, seemingly killed under strange circumstances. Since the pattern for the Watangashi Festival thus far has been that one person dies and one person disappears, Keiichi and Shion come to the conclusion that the death of both Jirou and Miyo means that Keiichi and Shion are destined to disappear.
 
However, more and more people in the village go missing but Shion and Keiichi and strangely unharmed. Shion confides nightly with Keiichi over the phone about her worries regarding the disappearances. After [[Satoko Houjou]] and Rika disappear, Mion begins to act strangely around Keiichi. Keiichi later learns from Detective [[DetectiveKuraudo Ooishi Kurado]] that Shion disappeared the night after the Festival and figures that the Shion he had been speaking to on the phone was, in fact, Mion.
 
Keiichi and Rena work out that Mion is the clear suspect in all the deaths and disappearances so far and, along with the police, confront Mion with their findings at the Sonozaki residence. During their conversation, Mion reveals the dark history of Hinamizawa and the Sonozaki family and confesses to all the murders and disappearances that have occurred. Before turning herself in, Mion requests that she have 30 minutes alone with Keiichi. However, Mion tricks Keiichi into following her into the [[Sonozaki torture chamber]] and reveals that Shion is still alive. Mion incapacitates Keiichi with the intention of torturing him in front of Shion. Rena, seeing through Mion's deception, called the police to enter the Sonozaki residence which cuts Mion's plans short. Mion escapes through an undiscovered escape route deep within the torture chamber and Keiichi and Shion are rescued.
 
Shion is heavily traumatized and, after a medical stay, begins to sleep in a different house each night due to her fear that Mion will return for her. Keiichi's family receives over $200,000 from the Sonozaki yakuza as a form of compensation and hush money and are eventually given a letter asking the family to leave Hinamizawa. Before the family departs, Keiichi meets Mion one last time outside his house. Keiichi, excited to meet her one last time so that he can give her the doll he should've given her from the beginning, is surprised when Mion stabs him in the stomach with a knife and runs off laughing.
