}}The night after visiting the [[Kuze Shrine|ruin]], Rei dreams of entering a large, old-fashioned [[Manor of Sleep|manor]]. As she explores, she finds an old [[Camera Obscura|camera]], and has an encounter with the lost spirits of a [[Makie Kuzuhara|woman]] and [[Kozue Kuzuhara|child]]. Looking for a way out, Rei meets somebody else in the Manor, a [[Yoshino Takigawa|woman]] who crouches on the floor muttering to herself. When Rei tries to talk to her, another [[Reika Kuze|woman]] appears, this one covered in [[Snake & Holly Tattoo|tattoos]]. Rei flees and the tattooed woman pursues, her fingers briefly touching Rei's back. Rei runs through the Manor's entrance doors and wakes up in her bed with a terrible pain in her back.

Back in the real world, Rei receives a letter from [[Kei Amakura]], an old friend of [[Yuu]], who mentions a Camera Obscura. Rei looks in [[Yuu's Room]] and finds a camera just like the one in her dream, only this one is broken. Even more mysteriously, when she develops the [[Musty Film|old film]] inside the camera, she reveals a photograph of the muttering woman from her dream.

The following night, Rei dreams of the Manor again. Again she follows the rambling woman and tries to talk to her; she finds a [[Burnt Passport]], and as she starts to leave, the woman calls after her, begging to be woken up.

When Rei wakes, she receives a phone call from [[Miku]], who has researched the photograph from the old camera and discovered that the woman's name is Yoshino Takigawa - the same as the name on the passport. Rei visits the hospital where Yoshino is comatose, and Yoshino disappears before her eyes, leaving behind nothing but a black stain.

Again dreaming of the Manor, Rei returns to the room where Yoshino was crouching, and finds that Yoshino is now a ghost, still trapped in the Manor.
