Mikado and Hiyakawa go to investigate a pond at a house. Their client, the woman who owns the house, has the same dream every night of a corpse floating in the pond. Mikado dives down into the pond to have a look, and there at the bottom, in the murk, he sees its core.
On their way home that day, Mikado and Hiyakawa stop to eat and Hiura Erika appears before them. Erika reveals to the two of them that she is a curse peddler and a necromancer.
She always, always watched me... 
Watched and watched...
...حرستني دوماً دوماً... راقبتني، راقبتني
Immer, immer hat sie auf mich geachtet …
Geachtet, geachtet …
¡Siempre, siempre me mira!
Me mira, me mira…
¡Siempre, siempre me mira!
Me mira, me mira…
Tous les jours, sans relâche…
Elle me regarde…
Ha sempre... sempre avuto 
un occhio di riguardo per me!
Ela sempre me observava... O tempo todo...
Она всегда, всегда смотрела на меня...
