Kasahara: "Ah, you really saved me. I accidentally bumped into the eaves and fell down while trying to get control just now. I was about to come out and look for it, so please bring it in with you guys."
"Ha?"
Kasahara: "Oh, go around to the back of the house, there's a window there that can be opened. That's how I got in. Hurry up and come inside."
Sahashi came over from the side and shook her flashlight, "What's going on? What did Kasahara say?"
Ring, ring, ring—
Somewhere inside a room on the second floor, a faint telephone ringing seemed to still be echoing.
Narita Ryota's expression turned somewhat pale, and his breathing became slightly rapid.
Something was... off.
That's when Uchimura Koji, standing nearby, spoke up with a tremble in his voice, "Hey, you guys… were these handprints on the wall here before?"
He was holding a camera and pointing it at the left side of the corridor wall.
