Funimation Description: Nene, Hanako, and Kou have reached the top of the Misaki Stairs, where a mysterious and bewitching woman awaits them. Will Nene get her friend back, or will she vanish along with her?

Summary
The two of them enter through the doors as it slams shut behind. Nene follows after Kou after contemplating for a brief moment, watching the closed doors behind them. But before she could take another step, she sees something floating in the water: a disembodied head with bedraggled hair. She steps back anxiously, but the head ultimately falls off the rushing waterfall, heeding no sound of its landing. Nene stares at the bottomless pit until Kou's voice-directed her attention to a silhouette hidden in the dark. They realize that this figure was an agglomeration of the parts they found put together, with jutting joints and irregularities as it sat in a wheelchair. The two of them stare at it in disbelief, as Nene shudders behind Hanako-kun. He blames Kou for having to find the wrong leg, before Kou refuted saying he told them to grab anything until Nene listlessly marvels at their creation's perfection against everything else. Hanako-kun briefly becomes distraught at Nene's liking for the figure's chest. Suddenly, footsteps sounded on the water, belonging to a young woman with hues of red and white for her clothing, and slightly-curly green hair. They recognized the voice belonging to the phone calls', as the woman greets them.

The three become mesmerized by the woman's beauty, as Nene questioned if this was Misaki-san. The woman who claimed to be 'Misaki' notices the figure behind them, rushing over to look at the humanoid. Kou and Nene hesitantly make excuses for its odd appearance, but is surprised to find Misaki's liking of it. She takes Nene's hands into her own, shaking it in gratitude while explaining she didn't have any idea of what a human body looked like. She marvels it, saying this is unlike any human body she has ever seen, before blowing a spell to stir it awake. The figure's limbs start acting erratically, making guttural noises, before ultimately failing to move. Much to her displease, she denounces it as another failure. Nene nervously asks if there were any other kids around here, before 'Misaki' directs their attention to the mound of lifeless mannequins, who had the same seals placed on their faces. This sends Nene into a shock, seeing Aoi's lifeless body in the form of a dark gray mannequin. She rushes over with tears in her eyes, as Hanako-kun calls her from behind. She attempts to wake her up, before Aoi's head slips off the neck and into the water. 'Misaki' sighs with exasperation, grimness lacing her tone as she follows her new rumor. Suddenly, her giant scissors are aimed around Nene's neck, but was blocked by Kou's arm. Kou asks Nene if she was alright, before realizing one of his arms was turned into a plush material. Hanako-kun defends the both of them with his knife, noting that her scissors can turn humans into dolls when cut.

Kou recalls Hanako's previous transformation when they first fought, but Hanako-kun states that he can't use hakujoudai's power in her territory without her permission. The possibility of that is by removing her yorishiro, but it wasn't here after all. 'Misaki' suddenly appears behind Kou, taking a swing with her scissors as he dodges it. Hanako-kun playfully leaves the offense to Kou, before he silently approaches Nene, who is still holding Aoi's head. He calmly tells her to stand up as Nene sobs in dejection, before telling her that anything here is neither born nor dead. He encourages her that people who don't know when to give up are unstoppable, lending her his hand. Nene proclaims that she will do anything once after getting his hand, before Hanako-kun's expression morphs into an intimidating way.

The next thing she knew was being tied with rope by Hanako-kun. He notes that the yorishiro wasn't found here, so it must be at the very bottom. Smiling gleefully, he pushes her off the edge, still holding the rope as Nene startingly falls downward. Nene lets out a scream while continuing downward, causing Kou to worry until 'Misaki' takes another swing. But before she could make another offense, Hanako-kun causes her to lose one of her scissors as she jumps back. Kou asks what he did to Nene, to which Hanako-kun said he took precautions to ensure her safety, thinkingly. Hanako-kun tells Kou to brace themselves, as 'Misaki' proclaims she is more than happy to shred both of them.
