At first, it is strange to be in the apartment, but she becomes comfortable. Yuichi answers the door and is relieved to see that she is not mad. She wants to give up living all of these people dying in her life is too hard. It is cold and dark, and her senses blur. Mikage walks up the wintry street to the Tanabe building. It was a pleasant visit at the mini-mart late at night, and Eriko had asked her to visit soon. On her way over, Mikage tries to remember the last time she saw Eriko. Mikage feels like “my insides had been gouged out” (45) and tells Yuichi she is coming over immediately. He admits he could not bring himself to tell her right away. Mikage finds out because Yuichi calls her and tells her about it, but it had happened a while back. She grabbed a barbell and killed him before she died, breathing her last words that it was self-defense. A patron of the bar was obsessed with her and found out she was once biologically a man, so he attacked her with a knife. Eriko dies in the late autumn after Mikage has already moved out.
