Spoiler Warning!! [+/-] Show/Hide Synopsis...
Keiichi's parents leave for Tokyo for a few days. He attempts to cook his own food for the first time and nearly starts a kitchen fire, but Satoko and Rika arrive just in time to put it out. Over dinner with them, Keiichi learns about Satoshi, Satoko's older brother, and his mysterious disappearance on the night of last year's Watanagashi. Called in to help with a baseball game, Keiichi meets Irie, the village doctor and baseball coach. Irie tells him about Satoko's past and her troubled home life. Curiously, when Keiichi mentions to Shion that he was told Satoshi "transferred out", she reacts violently... He presses Mion and Rena for more information on Satoshi's disappearance on the way home; Mion says that he ran away, but Rena proclaims fervently that he was punished by Oyashiro-sama's curse.
