This time they are finally addressing
the shadow Yuuko that has been appearing on occasional. In the Manga
there is more of a set up because they are actively pursuing it
before it takes direct action. However in the begin of the episode
they focus in on the fact that Yuuko is starting to act strangely. In
this way she is become more attached to Teiichi, where she is sitting
in his lap during class. Then there is the fact that she is become
jealous of his interaction with Okonogi and Kirie. This happens as
Yuuko is dragging him off to have lunch on the rooftop they are
stopped by Okonogi, which Teiichi agrees to have lunch with because
he really doesn't have a reason to say no. However during Yuuko does
two things to indicate that she wants to be left alone with Teiichi.
The first is that she eats his lunch for him so that he would no-long
have a reason to say near Okonogi. The second things is that she
knocks some food out of Okonogi hand as she is trying to feed him.
Later on Kirie is having a
conversation about Yuuko with Teiichi, How Kirishima Yuuko is in some
ways a lot like Konoe Yuuko. That as Kirishima forced all of her
misfortune onto Yuuko, Yuuko is doing the same thing to this shadow
version of herself. She goes further by asking the question of maybe
what this shadow is a form of psychological disorder. The is a
disorder call disassociate amnesia where a person creates an second
personality to force their problems on, and maybe because Yuuko is a
ghost it has allowed it to act independent of Yuuko. This also would
mean that no-matter what Teiichi does Yuuko with never get back her
memories. Also this explains why she doesn't have any negative
emotions like angry or hatred.
Then just as Kirie is finishing her
explanation they turn around and see Yuuko there, and for some reason
she runs off. However after Teiichi catchs up with her, they wind up
infront of the curse stone. Which it turns out to really be a
historical record of 1953 how there was a plague, and Yuuko's name is
being refurded to in association with the plague. This leads Teiichi
to believe that all the stories that they have gather so far has a
degree of truth to them in telling the story of what happen to Yuuko.
That about half a century ago there was a plague and to stop it Yuuko
was chosen by Akabito to be the living sacrifice. The one problem
with his theory is that she did so willingly but if the was true why
was her leg broken to keep her from running away. Also why is the
place it was done at underground.
Although the next day, Yuuko greets
him like normal but she seem a little off to Teiichi. It seems like
for some reason now when every she see her refection, instead of
seeing herself she instead see Shadow Yuuko. It reach a point where
it appears as if Yuuko got possessed by her shadow self, and pushes
Teiichi down the stairs. Later when Teiichi comes back to school with
a broken leg, he makes his way to the old school building where Yuuko
is. However he is horrified to realize that she has forget him, it
appears that Shadow Yuuko took Yuuko's feeling of jealousy as well as
all her memories of Teiichi.
