[edit] Plot
Answer to Watanagashi-hen. It is practically the same as Watanagashi-hen, although the differences from this chapter and Watanagashi-hen are somewhat important (especially the matter of Rika's death). However this story is told from Shion Sonozaki's perspective, which allows the player to understand the mysteries of that chapter. While this story helps answer many questions posed by Watanagashi-hen, it still leaves some mysteries unsolved.
[edit] Manga
