In this installment

After a month-long illness delays his transfer to Class 3-3 at Yomiyama North Junior High, Kouichi Sakakibara recovers in a hospital where he meets Mei Misaki, a quiet girl wearing an eyepatch. Although Kouichi senses a strange connection with her, his new classmates treat Mei as if she does not exist and warn him to stay away from anything irrelevant. Disregarding their advice, Kouichi befriends Mei and starts to uncover the disturbing source of his peers' unease. Whispered rumors focus on a former student of Class 3-3, yet no one reveals the full details of the tragic event to Kouichi. As he investigates the eerie curse plaguing his class, he attempts to understand its link to Mei. When horrifying incidents begin to unfold, Kouichi, Mei, and the other students must unravel the chilling mystery, but the truth demands a terrible price.
