The debris that had once been the floor of a room on the second floor crumbled to the floor below. In the midst of the falling rubble, levitating in mid-air, 3 ghost children surrounded an unconscious woman, their arms outstretched. However, they were able to help her for only a moment, breaking her fall enough that she wouldn't die from it. Their focus quickly shifted to the falling rubble, releasing their hold on Yui. Their powers weren't strong enough to stop the collapse, but they were at least able to get the large pieces of rubble away from Yui on the ground, saving her from being crushed to death. Once the debris stopped falling, they went through the collapsed pile to check on Yui, smiling in relief when they saw that she was still alive.
"I'm glad. Now we just need to get Ayumi and the rest of get her out." Yuki said.
"Leave that to me." They looked over to see a blue flame spirit appearing next to Yui. "I'll get her students to her." Yuki nodded.
"Thank you. We'll go gather them then." Nodding to Tokiko and Ryou, the trio disappeared as the blue flame spirit hovered down to the panda necklace around Yui's neck.
"Naomi! Where did you go, you idiot? I don't want to be alone… Sensei and everyone else too, where did they all go?" Seiko cried as she wandered around the building aimlessly. "There were so many earthquakes and this place keeps changing! On top of that, I lost my phone somewhere and there are so many corpses around. I'm so sick of it!" She pulled out her paper doll scrap from her pocket. "I want to see you, Naomi…"
"This way." A little ghost boy called out to her in the distance, his blue glow making him visible in the dark.
"…! A ghost?" Seiko was about to run in the opposite direction in fear when the ghost spoke again.
"Save her." She turned back to the ghost.
"Who?" An image of a crying girl popped into her mind, making her gasp. "Naomi?" With a jolt of realisation, she ran towards the ghost, finding a large door with all sort of protective charms stuck on it. "Isn't it a bad idea to take these down…?" She looked to the ghost, but he was gone.
"Seiko...must have really suffered..."
"Naomi!" She turned back to the door. The voice seemed to come from within. Turning back to the door, she swallowed hardly. "I'm sorry…" Giving a small prayer, she tore away the charms and pushed the door open, running into the dark basement.
"We've already searched the whole building and we still couldn't find your phone." Mayu sighed as they walked towards the walkway leading to the main building. Morishige just smiled to her.
"It's alright, Mayu. I'll just buy another when we get back. For now, let's group up with the others. They must already be waiting for us in classroom 1-A."
"I wonder if the others are ok…. I want to see them soon." She voiced her concerns. "I sure hope they're alive."
"Don't worry, Mayu. Mochida and the rest won't be taken down so easily." Morishige reassured her as she nodded.
"Morishige-kun… Suzumoto-san…" Mayu flinched, stopping in her tracks. She looked over to Morishige, whose expression matched hers.
"Shige-nii… Did you hear that?" Morishige nodded, looking to her.
"Yeah. And that sounds like Sensei's voice."
"Maybe something happened to her! Let's go, Shige-nii!" Mayu cried, worried, as the two of them broke into a run towards the main building, where they would reunite with Satoshi and the others. Watching them run off from the other side of the walkway, Tokiko faded away.
"Over here." Following Ryou, Seiko burst into a room with TV in the corner, and smiled upon seeing Naomi.
"Naomi!" Her smile quickly dropped when she realised that there was a black mist around Naomi.
"Save her. Before she gives in to her demons." Ryou said before fading away. Seiko ran up to Naomi, placing her hands on her shoulder and shaking her.
"Naomi! Naomi!" No matter how loudly she yelled, it felt like Naomi couldn't hear her.
Or maybe she didn't want to hear her.
Seiko frowned when Naomi brought her hands up to her ears. From what Naomi was muttering and the video on the screen that showed the girls' bathroom, along with the voice she heard back in the main building. she was able to deduce that Naomi was blaming herself for her 'death', and she wasn't having any of it. She was going to stop Naomi, and they were going to go back together, just as they promised.
