Nancy confronted Takae, demanding to know the truth, Takae admitted that she had involuntarily led to Kasumi's death, and that she had kept the will from her granddaughters because she was afraid they would abandon her. She was surprised to see that the "ghost" was actually a simple robot.

Nancy used the sword to cut the ropes and free herself. After finding these things, Nancy was attacked by Kasumi's ghost and forced into the bath and held under with a net. Inside was a samurai sword and Kasumi's will, which clearly stated that Yumi and Miwako could choose to live out their lives however they wished. Nancy returned to the secret baths in the Hiei, and solved a large nonogram puzzle that she had found numbers for. When told about this, Yumi at first refused to believe it, but said that "Takae was right", referring to her grandmother's firm belief that Kasumi's ghost was residing within the Ryokan. They eventually fading, leaving only a few words, which rearranged themselves to say "Yumi I know your secret". She opened it up, and was surprised to see that excerpts from several of Kasumi's personal letters were appearing on the window. Late that night, Nancy heard some strange sounds outside of her window. Yumi offered for Nancy to stay in her apartment while she stayed with a friend. She "accidentally" kept Nancy too late, causing her to miss the last train back to the Ryokan. Though Yumi refused to say what exactly they were for, she did admit that they had been a test to see if Nancy was smart and clever enough to help her. The photos had all been decorated with a number of digital stamps, but Nancy eventually realized that there was something odd about the photos. Though Yumi was at first almost as tight-lipped as her family members, she sent Nancy photos of her, Bess and George all at picture booths. The main entrance had been walled up with bricks, and the waters in the pool had turned murky black. Savannah's assistance eventually led Nancy to the discovery of a hidden passageway that led to a second set of baths. Savannah continued to help Nancy throughout the investigation, but warned her that there were truly unseen forces at work within the Ryokan.

Nancy contacted Savannah, and after some difficulty of getting past her receptionist, Logan (which included setting him up on a date with Bess), Nancy was able to secure a full copy of the book. While there, Nancy discovers a book by ghost hunter Savannah Woodham, which lists a chapter on the Ryokan Hiei, but the pages have been torn out. Yumi had Nancy visit her apartment while to pick up more Bento boxes.
Seeing that Bess and George had made good friends with the young woman, Nancy went to meet her, hoping to find more answers. Despite the tradition of the eldest daughter inheriting the Ryokan, Yumi was living in the city, operating a bento shop in Matsue.
Also, while going down a hallway, all the doors on the floor began to slam, one after the other.ĭespite these bizarre incidents, Miwako and the inn's handyman, Rentaro, continued to reassure Nancy that there was nothing to fear and it had only been her imagination.Īfter talking with Bess and George, Nancy was surprised to learn that her two friends had met Yumi Shimizu, Takae's eldest granddaughter.
Nancy also discovered a set of wet foot prints in her room, which lead strait through her wall. Looking back at the mirror, the figure flashed closer before disappearing and the mirror shattering. When Nancy looked over her shoulder, she was completely alone in the room. Later, while in the baths, Nancy saw the reflection of a corpse-like girl standing behind in her in the mirror. By the time Nancy had looked outside, the figure was gone. On the first night, Nancy was quite startled to see the silhouette of a young woman pass by the screen door that led out on her balcony.
Despite her grandmother's pleadings, she allowed Nancy to check in. Upon first arriving in the Ryokan Hiei, a portrait of the inn's late owner, Kasumi Shimizu, fell off of the wall, which prompted Kasumi's elderly mother, Takae, to insist that "She is not wanted here!" Takae's granddaughter and Kasumi's youngest daughter, Miwako, who works the front desk, insisted that it only fell. Friends Bess Marvin and George Fayne accompanied her, wanting to visit the Technology Expo that was being held in Matsue.
