Zushonosuke enters the castle with the intention of reclaiming the falcon but is apprehended by yokai. Tomihime intervenes to rescue him from this predicament. She explains that she is unable to return the bird because her mother's soul is bound to it. This revelation prevents Zushonosuke from taking the falcon back immediately, as the object serves as a vessel for her mother's spirit. The encounter highlights the supernatural connection between the falcon and Tomihime's family, complicating Zushonosuke's mission and forcing him to reconsider his approach to retrieving the item.
