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?
Before she died, she'd been 
exiled to that very same attic...
.قبل وفاتها، كانت منفية في نفس العليّة
die auf diesem Dachboden
eingesperrt verstarb.
Antes de morir, la habían
encerrado en ese mismo ático.
Antes de morir, la habían 
encerrado en ese mismo ático.
Avant sa mort, ils la cachaient 
dans ce grenier.
Prima di morire, anche lei era stata
esiliata in quella soffitta,
Antes de morrer, ela foi 
trancada naquele mesmo sótão.
