Summary
When Kou and Nene open the door, they are great by a mysterious boy. Nene jumps forward and grabs the boy hugging him in the process. She quickly turn to Kou and asks him why they came to the Red House. He answers telling her that they wanted to go to the Boundaries. She says that they came here to find something connect to Sosuke Mitsuba in order to travel to the Boundaries. She also points out how the boy has some similarities to Hanako. When touch the boys hand, she can feel his pulse. Which means he is a living, breathing human. Without hesitation she says that he might be Hanako's descendant. Stunned by that statement, Kou starts inspecting the boy. He questions both of them about who Hanako is. When getting a closer look Kou starts to see more similarities with Tsukasa more than Hanako. Nene agrees with the claim that he looks like Hanako. While she continues her statement, the floorboards break beneath her. Her and Kou come in agreement that they should exit the house since it was too dangerous. She picks up the boy and all three of them exit the room. When walking down the stairs, the boy asks why they are leaving with him. Nene says that the house is too old and dangerous to play in. He then says that it's dangerous to leave with him because they will get mad. Nene tells him not to worry and asks if Kou could contact Teru. When putting in his number, his phone goes to static and shows an image of the front door. Nene asks him if he's ready to leave. He quickly says that something weird is going on in the house. She opens the door and bugs leap out of the cracks of the door. They start dragging Nene through the door. Before Kou could reach her, he passes out. When he eventually wakes up he is greeted by him sitting on a sofa surrounded by stuffed animals while he's hold one. He notices that this was the room the boy was in. He looks around the room to see the boy humming a tune. He turns around and greets Kou. He rushes over to him and pins him to the ground saying he's not just a regular boy but that his is Tsukasa. He ignores Kou's response and says that Nene is through the door. Kou looks over to see the windows of the door covered in a dark liquid. He tells him that it was in fact dangerous to take him out of the house. He also says that he is unable to leave the house at all. Since Nene tried taking him outside 'they' got angry. He notices that Kou is unharmed and says that he can leave without her. He points to another door that has the view of the outside in it's windows. Kou thinks that he can call Teru if he leaves but then hesitates because he might not be able to get back in. He walks through the pile of stuffed animals and ignores Tsukasa. He turns to him and telling him that he will never forgive him for what he did. He opens the door and slams the door shut behind Tsukasa. When he enters the room the roof is covered in clocks and the walls are cover faucets. He continues to wander through the rooms one by one. While trying to see if he can look out a window, Tsukasa pulls on his leg asking if he likes Nene. He denies it quickly but Tsukasa keeps on asking him questions. After giving up, he asks if he can hold Kou's hand. Kou gives him a looks and walks away. Tsukasa still follows behind him and trips in the process. He gets back up and follows Kou around a turn and hits his head into the wall falling over.
