[Hanako walked down the hospital corridors, Anthony sitting on her shoulders, whistling off-key as she walked.]
...Witchy, Witchy, where are youuu???~
[Hanako sang out softly, giggling, while Anthony meowed softly. She didn't realize that both her and her cat were starting to look very strange indeed...]
[And in the meanwhile, Hanako's father was looking around, mopping his brow.]
[What in the world was going on, here, he'd been to this hospital 3 times this year already, how in the world could he get lost???]
[But lost he was, apparently. He grimanced and rubbed his eyes, looking at the signs on the door - Great, they didn't even look like they were supposed to be written in Japanese anymore.]
[...Oh, damn it, could there something be wrong with his brain or something? He was too young to go senile, damn it!]
[And then, he stopped dead as he heard somebody laugh.]
...Oh, husband. You're so silly...
[It was his wife's voice, but not the voice of his wife just before her death - This was how she had used to sound when she was young and healthy and beautiful, back when his daughter Hanako had been a young girl, and his son Kengorou hadn't even been born...]
[And outside in the gardens...]
[Kyubey sighed a bit at that.]
- You think so? I thought I might try and go talk to him today, but...
