The chapter opens with a description of the cemetery at Sasanaki, which is described as being "unusually humid" . Nozomi asks if there is any supernatural activity going on at the cemetery. It is rumored that the royal family has the power to "revitalize" the dead, but no one has been able to prove this to be true. She wonders if the ghosts of her deceased brother are haunting the cemetery, but she does not believe them. She also wonders if there might be a church nearby. She tells the others that she has a guest that night, and she feels uneasy about the presence of the ghosts. She asks if the ghost of her dead brother is haunting the graveyard, and they all agree that it is not. She then tells them that she is delighted that they have found evidence that her sister, sylvia, is behind the ghost attacks. She is sure that they are running away from the cemetery to get away from her, but they do not seem to be running away because the dead do not run away.
