Tasogare Otome X Amnesia - Ep10



Now we are going to learn the truth about what happen to Yuuko 60 years ago, and how all the other ghost stories are ultimately connected to Yuuko. Things return to were Teiichi is viewing the past through Yuuko's eyes. Things start out pleasantly enough but soon it gets into the fact that there is a plague going on, that many people have already died because of it. This leads us to the fact that Yuuko has gone to visit a little girl named Asa whose entire family has died, and currently she is sick as well. After trying to comfort her, she runs into her sister who is unhappy with her decision to visit Asa because she could have the plague.

This confrontation with Yukariko who is Kirie's grandmother and Yuuko's sister is interrupted by them seeing some adults heading off towards the school. This leads them to believe that they are going to discus ways to solve the epidemic, so they end up following them. Which it turns out that they were going to talk about what more they can do to stop the plague. It turns out that they believe that this plague is cause by the wrath of god, because they built the school on top of the ruins of a shrine. That to stop the plague they have to have a suitable offering, and the only thing that would be acceptable is a human sacrifice. That a criminal would be no good the only thing that would satisfied god would be sacrificing someone young and innocent. That they could cover it up by saying that they died of the plague, no-one would think twice with one more person dead.

Upon hearing this it horrifies both Yuuko and Yukariko that they run, but in doing so the adult are alert to their presence by Yuuko's bell ringing. Although they manage to escape with the adult never finding out who was listening in on them. However Yuuko is worried that they might use Asa for the sacrifice so she has Asa stay over, using the excuse that they have the extra room and doesn't want her to be alone. Later when Yuuko gets out from having a bath she notice that Asa is gone, and questioning Yukariko where she could be. Yuuko realize that the adult have her.

This cause her to rush off to try and save her, but Asa isn't the one they are planning to sacrifice. They intent to use her as Akahito to choose who to sacrifice, but because of her close connection to Yuuko. Also the fact that Yuuko is trying to save her, Asa calls out Yuuko name. This result in the villagers taking Asa answer as her choice, and this result in them picking up Yuuko. Then throwing her through the hole in the wall, and sealing it up behind her leaving her to slowly die. Although in the beginning she was happy that both Asa and Yukariko are safe, this quickly turns to malice causing her to hate the one that she tried so hard to help. Only to end up here because of her own kindness, and this is what cause Yuuko personality to split. This is also the point where Yuuko's ghost story began.
