Our story starts from the ending of fatal frame 3…
Chapter 1- end and new beginning
After Rei depart from Yuu for the last time, she wakes up and start crying like always…
Suddenly, an inhuman scream is heard from outside the room.
"What now?" she screams and run outside excitedly.
Right on the same time, Miku is also coming out of her room, and their eyes meet. They run and hug each other, shedding tears.
"I'm so glad that you're safe. Thank you, Rei.."
"Miku.. I couldn't do this without you, I need to thank you.."
"oooo… but wait, why did you scream like someone put a hamster in your ?"
"Me! I thought it might be you.."
Then, once again the scream is heard.
Rei got her camera obscura and went downstairs with Miku, ready for whatever may happen.
A horrible smell is clouding her sense.. she knew that smell.
On the living room, Kei is running after Ruri, trying to hit him with one of his books.
"What are you doing!" Rei scream at him angrily.
"The stupid cat thought I'm a toilet while I was sleeping! And under my t-shirt yet!"
"I knew that smell was familiar…"
"Wait," says kei, "so we're all… all right?"
"Yes! Thank lord kami!" says miku.
"Good. That topless woman just didn't stop asking me if the tattoos make her look fat."
Everybody laugh, Even Ruri, thinking to himself: wait 'till you'll open your bag.."
After 6 months…
Miku's having nightmares about Himuro again..
On the morning, Rei shouts when she see a creepy ghostly hand put an envelope through the door.
"Miku, you got mail!"
"On Sunday?"
Miku read the letter, and drop it shocked.
Rei start asking questions, but Miku just glare at the window and start humming some kind of music.
"Miku, Did you got fued up again?"
Rei picks-up the letter, and get a shock herself.
"Dear Miku,
I'm sorry I couldn't speak back then, on the last passage.
There was still some kind of voice barrier.
I guess you were terrified.. and worrying.
I worry about you too. I'm also the one who pushed you back to Himuro in your dreams.
I've tried to tell you something, but my message was twisted because of that darn manor of sleep, and that tattoo maiden.
Anyway, Miku, Please come back, To Himuro mansion.
Something BIG is going to happen in the gate to the malice, and the time runs down. Please, hurry, and take the camera obscure with you, you'll need it.
Take care,
You loving brother,
Mafuyu"
"Miku…" Rei steps toward the crying Miku.
"Rei… I can feel it... my brother's soul.. Something unspeakable is going to happen. I'm not sure I can do it."
"Miku.. Whatever it is, stop crying. I'll go with you!"
"Will you?"
"of course… she says with a soft voice, still not aware of what horrible adventure is waiting for them...
