"(W/A) Ryukishi07 Rene Rygu has made lots of great friends since returning to Hinamizawa a year ago. But the happiness of playing with her classmates can hardly make up for the sadness she feels at home.

How much can Rena afford to trust in a place like Hinamizawa?"

Based on the evidence detailed in Takano's notebook, Rena believes she's uncovered the truth behind Oyashiro-sama's curse and the mysterious deaths in Hinamizawa!

"Driven out of her mind by the terrible explanations for the murderous plot in Hinamizawa outlined in Takano's scrapbook, Rena is on the run from the police and her friends. When Officer Ooishi confronts Mion about the Sonozaki family's involvement in the murder conspiracy, Mion reveals a number of other scrapbooks, detailing even more outlandish theories to explain the string of murders in the village.

But with less than a month before the cotton drifting in her current life, will Rika be able to change destiny in time?"
