The next morning, Hiroshi and Mito return to the villa, and Hiroshi asks Mito if the art pieces are still there. Mito replies that they are, but that it was his "artistic vision" that sent them to "regretful kiln hell" . He adds that responsibility for one's actions is a "fundamental principle" , and that if one does not take responsibility for their actions, then they are not responsible for the actions of others. He says that he made it clear to the villagers that when they die, he would make sure that they received what they deserved. He tells Mito that he wants none of his "bizarre taste in aesthetics" and that he will think about how to deal with the villagers. He asks if anyone believes in superstitions, and he replies that he is not superstitious. He then asks if any of the villagers believe in superstition, and says that if he were him, he wouldn't want to see their faces. He goes on to say that he doesn't believe in superstitious beliefs, but he does believe in "sinisters" and "an ogre." He also says that it is taboo to talk about such things, and so he is hanging the pieces of art out to dry. He feels that grudges are "dark and mucky," like mud in a pit. He wonders if this is really a grudge, and wonders if it is just a matter of "twirling." He then says that people like Mito are "idiots" who are full of re-sentment.
