When A-ko enters the classroom, B-ko immediately scolds her, but then moves to the topic at hand when D-ko calms them down. A-ko asks B-ko what was it she wanted to talk about, and E-ko responds that it's about the incident that occurred the previous day. B-ko asks everyone if they read the newspaper, which they all did except for A-ko. C-ko shows A-ko said newspaper, and the group discusses about the murder that occurred the day prior. A-ko then brings up that they actually found the body first, and that if they were doing the right thing by keeping it a secret. B-ko counters her statement saying that it didn't matter who found the body first and wasn't a topic to worry about. E-ko responds with “All we did was not report a dead body we discovered” and says it is not much of a crime. She proceeds to call A-ko a masochist for wanting to get involved, since E-ko does not intend to join a murder investigation. She then calls D-ko for backup, who then reveals that she took pictures of the body. E-ko freaks out, taking D-ko's pictures and ripping them apart. She tells D-ko to remove the pictures from her camera's memory card, tells the rest of the group that the murder has nothing to do with them, and after calming down, suggests that it is time to go home as it was getting late. When E-ko was just to go home, she hears someone saying “I will not let you... forget....” repeatedly. E-ko freaks out, yelling “Forgive me!” and runs away. The voice responds with “Never” and the scene ends with a bloodied black screen saying “NEVER FORGIVE”.
