Toshio and Seishin guard Setsuko at the clinic, suspecting a shiki attack. Nao appears outside but cannot enter without invitation. Later, Tatsumi gains access through Toshio's wife and overpowers Toshio, allowing Nao and other shiki to drain Setsuko's blood. Toshio is left grieving, realizing the clinic is no longer safe.

While Sotoba's villagers are debating the cause of the frequent deaths, the town shaman points her finger at the residents of Kanemasa mansion.
