It's been months since the disappearance of Kishida, and now that she's gone, Hiroyuki has been looking for her. He's still worried about her, but he's also got a plan for her: she'll get a job as an actress. He asks Hiroyuki to show him his face so he can tell him what's going on with Kishida. Hiroyuki doesn't want to show his face, but Hiroyuki says he'll do it anyway. They talk about the kagura, a traditional theatrical dance, and the role that Kishida played in it. Everyone thinks it was Kishida's role in the play that killed her, and Hiroyuki guesses that it was her mother.
