As members of the group left behind try to make sense of their situation, Masaki, Hayato, Mitsumune, and the bus driver continue toward the tunnel. Masaki finally explains why she is adamantly against going through the tunnel, but how much of what she says can be trusted?
You've hung out with me all these years 
because you thought of me as a puppet?
تسكّعت معي طيلة هذه السنوات لأنّك فكّرتَ بي كدميتك؟
¿Estuvimos juntos todos estos años
solo porque me considerabas una marioneta?
¿Estuvimos juntos todos estos años solo 
porque me veías como a un marioneta?
T’es mon ami juste parce que 
tu me vois comme un pantin ?
In tutti questi anni, mi saresti stato vicino
perché mi consideravi un tuo burattino?
Quer que eu seja o seu fantoche e 
por essa razão diz para não mudar?
