The guests are all properly appreciative of the first story of the evening, Otomo Hisayo offering the next.<br/><br/>Otomo Hisayo will tell a haunting tale of a woman who committed jigai after pining for her lost love. The woman’s spirit continued to haunt the grove that the two frequented, beckoning any man who passed by. Those who followed her were never seen again. The story receives murmurs of appreciation, as it is a properly chilling and memorable tale.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Awareness / Investigation (Notice) : TN 15</div><div class="spoiler_body">You notice the uncertain looks she receives from several guests, including her betrothed Ikeda Akimitsu.
