A few days passed since Naoki and Ria made a deal, at this point, Kaito Muneyoshi (Naoki's younger uncle), just came back from work, he works as a surgeon in a hospital in Yomiyama. He became a doctor not because of money, but because of his vocation. He felt the urge to protect human lives for the first time, when he was 15 years old, he lost almost of his entire family.
The 1977 is shrouded in mystery, but the majority of people, including Kaito, connected the case to the curse of Kaito's class, and they acknowledged it as a fact, even though the victims of this incident were not only Kaito's father, but also his cousins, distant ones and even those living outside Yomiyama.

The Great Clans found that the curse was attacking their members with greater ferocity than other students of class 3-3, and they started to avoid this school, It was forbidden for them to attend this school, but Naoki was exceptional, he transfered from Yomiyama South to Yomiyama North, It was class 2-3 when he started education there, Kaito was against it, because he was afraid of the curse, he believed that the curse would kill him and Naoki, but Naoki was hated by almost everyone in his old school for his attitude towards others, he hurt people with words if they tried to bully him, also despite his lack of physical strength he never got beaten without resistance.
Ayato and Misaki were the only people who accepted Naoki, maybe Misaki liked him because he his attitude was quite simillar to Mei, Unlike Mei,Naoki wasn't hiding any sadness or emptiness, but rather a feeling of not having a place to belong. In his life he has lived in 4 different places, on two different continents and three cities, and with 4 different people. He does not feel attached to anything or anyone. Naoki feels only disgust towards other people. But when Ayato and Naoki met for the first time Naoki were sceptic and unfriendly towards him, as usual when it comes to his interpersonal contacts. But after some time Ayato and Naoki became friends, soon Misaki who were Ayato's friend joined them, at the beginning of Naoki and Misaki's acquintanceship, Naoki was honestly annoyed by her presence, Misaki was too loud and cheerful for him, Her satisfaction and optimism were initially irritating to him, which is why he always treated her coldly from they first meeting to last one, at first even with hidden contempt for her, but over time the irritation and the satisfaction of the reason for her presence gave way, although Naoki still had the same attitude towards her, but his feelings wasn't sincere after his hidden feelings towards her changed.

In the last days, when Naoki was studying at Yomiyama South, a group of his bullies tried to beat up Naoki. In a fight Naoki broke nose to one of his bullies, and the rest of them held him down and broke Naoki's arm in an act of revenge, despite the enormous pain, Naoki did not make a sound, his pursuers wanted to break his leg, but then Ayato and Misaki interrupted them, this was the first time when Ayato and Misaki saw how severe Naoki is bullied by the rest of their entire class, or even school.

On the last day of his education in Yomiyama South. Naoki met with Ayato and Misaki, he wanted to announce his decision to them.

Naoki: Ayato, Misaki listen, this is my last day here, from tomorrow I will change school.

Ayato: I am sorry to hear it. Are you leaving town?
Ayato smiled awkwardly.

Misaki: Come on, you have us. Don't leave us because of these fools who are bullying you.

Naoki: No, I'm going to Northern Yomi.

Ayato: You're joking right? At least I hope that the curse only applies to class 3-3, And you won't have to go through the curse in a year….

Misaki: I also heard rumors about this school too, but I don't know.

Ayato: Naoki, you don't know which class will you be assigned to? Right?

Naoki: Correct, but I will accept it, even If I would be assigned to this cursed class.

Ayato is shocked, Naoki has decided to transfer to Yomiyama North, despite the fact that he may be assigned to class 3-3, Misaki is taken aback, she doesn't know what is going on. Later Ayato and Naoki came to talk in private, Ayato was trying to change Naoki's mind.

Ayato: Naoki! Do you realize that both you and your uncle will die? After all, this curse apparently attacks members of the great clans first, I heard about an incident from 1977. Only your father and your uncles survived this massacre, and to be honest, no one knows why it happened, probably someone lost their mind and attacked other members of the Muneyoshi clan a your clan meeting, but this is strange, why would the perpetrator commit suicide? Could this curse control minds? Naoki... I'm starting to fear for my life, but despite everything, I'll still be your friend. Misaki probably does too, although she doesn't know much about this curse.

Naoki: Then explain to me why I'm always the only one who comes out alive after some tragedies? When my parents and my brother were killed, I was the only survivor, when Kiichisaburo was killed along with all his associates and even his own daughter, I was always the only survivor. I won't be surprised that things will take such a turn that I will become a student of class 3-3, and I will be the only one to survive, again.
Kiichisaburo was Naoki's older uncle, Naoki used to live with him after he lost his immediate family at 4, Kiichisaburo shared the fate of his younger half-brother – (Naoki's father)

Ayato: That's horrible, only we know about your childhood right? By the way, what if this time you wouldn't make it?

Naoki: I've been in worse situations, I generally don't believe in paranormal and spiritualistic things, but I think I'm lucky and cursed at the same time, minus and minus make a plus, so maybe you're right, but I don't worry about it, I accepted death a long time ago, I guess even when I was 4, I don't even remember.

Ayato: But how about Kaito? Didn't you think that if he survived the curse in 1977, wouldn't the curse affect him twice? after all, he is from the Great Clans, just like you and me, and he has already survived this curse once.

Naoki: I don't care, the people here are worse than cattle, in terms of behavior, I want to change my scene, especially what they did to my yesterday. If I stayed at this school, they would probably think I should be killed, and also they would start persecuting you and Misaki.

Ayato: Are you doing this... for us?

Naoki was trying to hide his good intentions and his desire to protect his friends, Naoki never showed his kind, gentle self, even to Ayato and Misaki, It looked like he wanted to renounce this part of his personality. There was an awkward silence, after some time Naoki took a deep breath and finally said :
Yes, I'm doing this both for you and Misaki, you figured it out, since causing me physical pain doesn't make me show pain, attacking my friends would probably, then they would start persecuting you, I never fit in in our class, I hope I will be tolerated in my new class. I don't care about popularity or friends, I just want to have peace, finish my education and live the rest of my life. I act coldly towards Misaki, sometimes it may even seem cruel, but I'm actually happy to spend time with you, I appreciate it, I really like you, but I don't show it to you often, I don't like to show joy or contentment, it's a long story and I don't want to talk about it

Ayato: I understand it, and also, I'm very happy that you actually consider us as your friends, to be honest I had doubts whether we were really friends. But now, I'm sure of it...
