Chapter 8: The Body:
Susumu's POV:
I was sitting there with my camera when I saw something floating down the river. I then realized it was a girl! It's like she was eaten alive!
...
I fished her and others onto the shore.
News Report:
"The Cause of death of the girls who were found can be seen to be due to drowning. There is a possibility they committed mass suicide. We also suspect that there may be some sort of animal that has been eating their bodies. The police follow the behavior of the students before they went missing. They look into both sides of the incidents and continue the investigating.
Michi's POV:
As we speak, the police are still investigating.
...
We're now having a funeral. We're all paying our respects. "I'm sorry," I said, "I'm really sorry."
...
I was then taking a walk outside. Prudence is there, but I walked away. She was following me. "I've had enough," I said, "I don't care anymore. I'm tired. Take me like everyone else."
She was then right in front of me with her hand on my face. "Free me from the curse."
...
I was about to kiss the photo, but then someone pulled it out of my face! I looked and saw it was Prudence and she was wearing her eighth note necklace...
