"This book was left inside an old shrine not far from the "Manor of Sleep". It seems to date from a time when the house was known as the "Kuze House" or the "Engraving Shrine". It's not easy to read much of it now, but it has something to do with a Ceremony of Commandment. This is a book written by a scholar of folklore named Akito Kashiwagi about the "Sleeping Priestess", but the same material appears in this book as well. Both of the books indicated that in the Ceremony of Commandment, or the Rite of the Stakes, by "impaling the priestess with the tattoo stake" you "subdue her for eternity". The "doors" could refer to the gates of hell. And now, for some reason, they have been opened. But if we can impale the priestess's limbs with the Tattoo Stakes then we may be able to put her to rest... I think the Tattoo Stakes are some sort of special stakes. They must be somewhere in the mansion."

"This picture... Mio and Mayu were always close, even for twin sisters. When Mayu was little, she fell from a cliff and crippled her leg. Mio, who was with her, felt that it was her fault. So, Mio stayed close by Mayu ever since. Mayu also depended on Mio for everything... About two months ago, they both went back to my sister's hometown, where they used to play when they were younger... It was there that... Mio must have thought that that was her fault as well... All the life just seemed to go right out of her. It must have been about... a month later than Mio started... dreaming of Mayu... And then... At this rate, Mio will disappear, too... If that happens... I've got to save Mio. I can't give up yet!"

"There was a custom called "Impaling the Sin" that was practised in the past by the people living in the area of the Manor of Sleep. It doesn't go on much anymore, but once a year, the people would put their own clothes on a straw and stake it to a sacred tree on the mountain in order to dispel their misfortune. So, they were offering their sin to that other world. The rite those girls performed must have the same origins. The stakes used were called Shinue Stakes. Shinue means tattoo in the language of the Ainu people. I think that this regional custom of impaling one's misfortune, sin and pain on the mountain has to have come from that rite."

"It seems that there were people living in the Manor of Sleep up until the end of the 19th century, but it is abandoned now. The temple where I found this book also seemed like it was normally deserted. Apparently the book was entrusted to the temple when it was found in the manor during the folklore research boom of the 20th century. The second half of the book seems to be a ledger of some sort. There's a long list of people's names and sums of money. This could be a record of all those people who offered their pain to the priestess. Blood... This was written with those people's "Ink of the Soul". Basically, this record of the pain offered to the priestess, could have been used (as) a measure... of the period between rites of commandment."

"I'm nervous too. But there has to be a way out of this."
