Akane Sumire/Synopsis

Sumire Arc
After being pushed by Aoi into the trash chute, Nene and Hanako find themselves in a small shrine. They discuss what they would do about the situation, but didn't come to any conclusions about where they were. Nene's loud voice led a group of villagers to the shrine, where the villagers immediately assumed that they were wraiths. The villagers were about to beat Nene and Hanako to death when Sumire came and took them in as pets. Nene and Hanako attempted to escape and got knocked back by a lightning barrier. Sumire then asks Nene and Hanako's names. Nene voluntarily offers her name while Hanako refuses. Sumire then decides to call Hanako "Gon".

Later, Nene and Hanako talk on the porch and Hanako reveals that they are still within No.6's boundary. After a bit more talking, Sumire drags Nene back to go take a bath. Hanako tries to follow but since he's a boy Sumire stops him. Before going in the bath, Sumire shows Nene the mask of her lover, which is revealed to be the mask of No. 6. Sumire then ties her hair up, exposing the Yorishiro on her neck.
