A painful truth surfaces for Sawa Mitoma when an old friend reveals that her own mother poisoned the friendships of her childhood. The revelation widens as Sawa learns the same cruelty reached the Sohma family and Shiki himself.
In this chapter Sawa Mitoma hears from someone she knew long ago that her mother was the true cause behind the friends who abandoned her as a child.
