CHAPTER 5
Satoshi and Naomi watch footage recorded in the tape on the TV in the Custodian's Closet recorded by Shougo Taguchi, Kou's assistant. After arriving at Heavenly Host, Kou is amazed by the surroundings and tells Shougo to film every detail, hoping to get the public recognition he deserves. His amazement does not last long, because soon, the duo finds many dead bodies, making them realize how dangerous the place is. Kou decides to leave and is about to explain the way out to Shougo, but the latter hears children's voices and runs, tripping on, presumably, a corpse, leaving only the camera, with its tape being almost full.
Ayumi Shinozaki and Yoshiki Kishinuma later find the third and the last part of Strange But True: Stories of the Occult by Kou.
After Satoshi and Naomi reunite with Yuka Mochida, they go back to the Custodian's Closet to watch the second tape that's mysteriously in Yuka's possession. On the tape that Kou films inside the Custodian's Closet, he explains the way to escape the school - performing the Sachiko Ever After charm correctly and putting all your scraps together. He wishes that he had never done the charm while banging sounds are heard in the background. The banging continues, and a possessed Naho calls for Kou. Finally, she busts the door open and enters the room. She kills Kou by strangling him to death, and the footage ends. Naomi, Satoshi, and Yuka find Kou's corpse, along with Naho's, in the closet in the same room.
