Chapter 7: Help Me...:
Risa's POV:
I woke up and saw Itsuki kissing the photo.
Michi's POV:
I opened the door, and it was Risa, and she looked like she was starting to cry.
...
"Everyone, please listen to me carefully. After Kasumi Nohara, Itsuki Kikunobe went missing." It's like how Kasumi went missing. "The reports of going out has not been issued..." It's because... she kissed... Prudence's picture? "For some time, we will prohibit everyone to go out of the premises. The sisters will take rounds in all the rooms for every hour. They will check if everyone is in their rooms. There is nothing to fear. We must not forget to believe in our faith."
I then saw her, and she still wasn't wearing her eighth note necklace. She was reaching out to me. Everyone around me then fell to the ground. Prudence then whispers in my ear, "Free me from the curse." I then fell to the floor...
Taruho's POV:
"That girl... that girl is calling everyone at school. False rumors spread inside the school quickly. That girl's curse is also spreading. Three girls went missing yesterday. I think there's no way to stop this." I then looked at my sleeping brother. "Takashi... as your sister, I will protect you."
Michi's POV:
I woke up and saw Risa was missing. "Risa?" I then got up. "Risa! Why? Why? I hate this! Everyone... Where did you all go?"
...
I was then walking down the halls where I approached Prudence's door. "Please stop this," I said, "you're doing this, right? Answer me! What are you planning to do with them? Answer me! Hey! Answer me! What are you planning to do with them? Hey! Come out! Come out right now!
Takashi's POV:
I was gardening. "Help me... Help me... Help me... Help me... Help me... Help me... I... I am... being called... by her... You know about her too, right...? You know her. Help me... She's calling me... She's calling me... Help me... Help me... Help me... Help me..." I then started stomping on the garden. The voice wouldn't stop! I then ran away. "Until now... All this time... To be able to meet her... I... keep on walking... I have to go... She is calling me... She is calling me... She is calling me..." I then saw a Mysterious Woman in Red walking while singing.
Woman in Red: How should I your true love know
From another one
By his cockle hat and staff
And his sandal shoon
He is dead and gone, lady
He is dead and gone
At his head a grass-green turf
At his heels a stone
White his shroud as the mountain snow
Larded all with sweet flowers
Which bewept to the ground did not go
With true-love showers!
