Ashiya's mother suddenly falls ill and is taken to the hospital.
Ashiya asks Abeno to take him there and discovers yokai Aranaki haunting his mother.
When he hastily removes Aranaki, his mother begins to feel better, but unable to see the yokai, she looks puzzled. Ashiya is surprised to learn similar incidents once occurred with his missing father Sakae.
Meanwhile, Abeno is listening outside the hospital room. He recognizes the name Ashiya Sakae--
If he could see yokai, he may have 
known about the Mononokean.
Wenn er Yokai sehen konnte,
weiß er vielleicht auch vom Mononokean.
Si veía a los yokai,
quizás conocía la Mononokean.
S’il voyait les esprits,
il connaissait peut-être le Repaire.
Se ele podia ver yokai, ele pode
ter conhecido o Mononokean.
