IMPORTANT A/N: My friend commented that it was hard for her to read the underlined text so I should change it to italicized text since other text like such is in other chapters and there will never be an episode and songfics in one chapter.

Thanks for reviews Annoymas and XxLavaxX! Love the reviews you've given so far (and everyone else too)! Unfortunately, there will be no more songs used in this fic, but if you want I can make a one-shot for it.

Text like this is from episodes or memory

Text like this indicates scene change within the watched episode or memory

'Text within these are thoughts'

'Text like this is a mental conversation between Hanyuu and Rika'

If an entire chapter is basically an episode then I will just indicate which speech is outside of what they're seeing.

Recap:

Shion looked at Takano, frozen with shock. "So, you're telling me that every year, the "other" victim sinks to the bottom of the "marsh"?

Then Shion thought, 'Don't tell me…Satoshi-kun too has…'

Satoko cried out, "Not my Nii-nii!" Shion gathered her within her arms and calmed her down, reassuring her that Satoshi wasn't there and Takano always lied.

Recap end

"Want to take a look?" Takano asked Shion, gesturing to her book of notes.

As Shion took the notes, the scene changed to a hazy scene of Mion and Rena talking under the bus stop overhang while it rained.

"I would hear the footsteps, pattering along in my direction," said Rena in an eerie voice. Her eyes were pupil-less, making her look blind. "It would stand by my bedside, looking over me at night. The experience of being watched over. Someone, far away…watching, unyielding. Someone who is always with you. What Satoshi-kun is experiencing…everything is an early warning about Oyashiro-sama's curse,"

"Rena, how do you know about all that?" asked Rika.

"I-I don't know. Something like that happened though. It was when I moved away. I felt like someone was constantly watching me and wanted me to return to Hinamizawa," said Rena, upset.

The screen flashed back to the head. "Guilt shall be lightened, and more will be known if you can forgive the deity who bears the curse,"

Rika looked to the others. "Can you forgive what this town perceived him as? Can you see him as good?"

"Hey, I'll give anyone a chance," said Mion. The others nodded in agreement, though Shion and Satoko were a bit hesitant.

The shadows slowly slipped away from the cage and a voice could be heard inside.

"Hauu… Rika, anyone, please, let me out,"

"Hanyuu?" said everyone, except Rika, in shock. Rika rushed over to the cage and grasped the bars. Inside the cage was a young girl with light purple hair and had two horns coming out near the sides of her head.

"Hanyuu! Are you ok?" asked Rika, concerned.

Hanyuu nodded. "Don't worry about me, focus on the others,"

Rika turned around to see her friends yelling at the person on the screen.

"How could you keep Hanyuu in there? She's a human being!" yelled Mion.

"The only way to get her to stay still and bring here to this place was to place her in there," explained the person.

"Wait a minute," said Shion. "Does that mean you think Hanyuu is Oyashiro-sama?"

"You're out of your mind! She's a young girl, not some God!" exclaimed Keiichi.

"If she was Oyashiro-sama, would you accept her?" Rika said, looking serious.

They all looked at each other. "O-of course!" Rena exclaimed.

"Right! Even though we would like an explanation, we would accept her for who she is," said Mion. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Hanyuu looked at them, tears in her eyes. "You really would?" The cage surrounding her disappeared. Hanyuu got up and was hugged by Rika who was crying.

Hanyuu wrapped her arms around Rika and whispered, "Hopefully they'll accept us both,"

They released each other and faced the others. The television screen showed the list of things the head promised to be revealed.

"I'm going to tell them who's who. Maybe they'll be more accepting," said Rika.

"That would make things make more sense, but only tell them if you're ready," reminded Hanyuu.

Rika nodded and looked at everyone, while motioning to the screen. "The person who brought us here told us that throughout our time here, all our questions would be answered. What she didn't tell us were the answers to who each of us are. Fortunately, I have the answer."

"You're the one who knows, aren't you?" asked Satoko, softly.

Rika nodded. "I know that the 'four who cause' are Keiichi, Shion, Rena, and Satoshi since they've had the syndrome. I know that 'the one who stays hidden' is Hanyuu since, before last month, she never truly existed. I know that 'the one who stays abandoned' is Satoshi since he is underneath the clinic without anyone knowing besides the staff and Shion,"

A/N: From now on, my friend Chaz-Rae will be beta-ing each chapter after it goes up (since e-mails seem not to be working and she doesn't have an account) and after she corrects any mistakes I'll re-upload the chapter when needed.

By the way, while writing this I found an awesome smiley to represent Russia from Hetalia: Axis Powers: (^J^)
