Summary

Things start out with a bit of sense of foreboding, with what appears that someone is able to see the interaction between Teiichi and Yuuko. This then leads us to the next day where Teiichi receives a mysterious letter. He believes it to be a love letter, so when Yuuko appears he quickly hide it and makes his escape. When he feels that he is a safe distance form Yuuko, he opens it. This is when he realizes it isn't a love letter at all, but it is from someone that can see Yuuko too. Also for some reason they implies that Yuuko is deceiving him.

After school he meets with the person to hear what they have to say, it appears that they believe that Yuuko is evil. That ghost by their very nature are weak creatures that seek to steal the strength that the living posses, and that is why that she believes that parasite is clinging on to him. Once she leave Teiichi beings to question the nature of Yuuko's actions and starts to subconsciously begin to fear her. Then once Yuuko appears he is afraid of what he might see, but when she sneezes cutely it dis-spells all of his current doubts of her.

Since both Teiichi and Yuuko are wet they go to the infirmary to dry off. While there she starts question Teiichi on how she looks to his eyes. The reason being is that she is seeking confirmation that the person she see in the mirror is the same one that is seen by Teiichi. While this is happening the person from earlier that was warning him about Yuuko returns, and tells him the hideous thing that she see Yuuko as. Then by pouring poison in his ears it cause Teiichi to see Yuuko the same way that this woman see her. After being horrified by seeing Yuuko look that way he runs away with this other woman.

Once they stop to catch their breath she Introduces herself as Konoe Kirie, That she is related to Yuuko. That she was able to see her from hearing stories about her from grandmother who was Yuuko's sister. This conversation leads to Teiichi telling her about where Yuuko's body is, this leads Kirie to believe that if they can get possession of her body they will be safe from her. While making their way to the underground path that leads to where Yuuko's body is Teiichi gets capture by Yuuko. While Kirie goes on ahead, leaving Teiichi being with Yuuko.

This leads to the fact that Yuuko to accept the fact that his perception of her has changed, and tells him in time he will forget her all together. Then before she can leave he stops her, and tells Yuuko that he was afraid. However he has no intention on being so anymore, that by facing her and telling her how he saw her earlier ends up correcting his own self-image of her. Although for him this isn't enough , he must take a clear look at her body to accept the true meaning of her death. Then when he goes down there he see that Kirie is huddle down too afraid to go any further. However when Teiichi go down to do an detailed inspection of Yuuko body, it appears as if someone deliberately turn Yuuko into a human sacrifice that it wasn't done willingly. That there is even greater mystery behind the fact that she has forgotten who she was in life and how she died, it could even be possible that Yuuko force herself to forget to protect herself from the truth.
