While on the way, Kaori said that she heard a interesting story that day. She tells her sister the story about a female student who fell from the third floor corridor. Despite the impact, she didn't die and vanished, leaving brain matter on the floor. Immediately after Kaori finished the story, the sisters heard a voice. They thought it was the wind and as they were about to leave the school the voice returns asking for help. Suddenly, an earthquake and a strange light appear, and the two sisters find themselves catapulted inside an abandoned schoolhouse.
Fortunately, although at first they had been separated, the two sisters managed to find each other. They didn't know what kind of place it was, so they decided to go exploring. Kaori and Shiho reach the entrance way, but they didn't feel it was safe and decided to stay inside the school. As soon as they cross the corridor, an earthquake shakes the building and the floor collapses. Shiho starts to doubt that they can ever find a way back home, but Kaori reassures her that they will find a way to return.
