The doctor tells the family that Miura's condition is so serious that she needs to be operated on. The father is worried about his daughter's fate, but the doctor reassures him that the condition is not a curse. The doctor says that the patient's nerves and arteries are also affected, and that she will need to undergo surgery soon. The family wonders if Miura has been the victim of a lovesick lover, or if she has been dumped by someone else. Inaba says that even if a curse were real, it would not be realistic to curse either one of them.
