ENDING RANK : B

Her younger sister's sharp cries start to break the mirrors in the girls' lavatory as blood pours out from the walls.
A cackling of laughter is heard as the vengeful spirit appears and compliments Kaori for "following the script," hinting the vengeful spirit herself deliberately changed the wording on the poster to make it sound like the only way to free Shiho was to break the mirror.
