第5話: アスカの入院とメイリンによるタカシとの対決で、サイバーいじめっ手の正体が明らかになる。

5

While Asuka recuperates in the hospital devastated about how he was unjustly deprived of playing in the soccer match, Meirin's brother Koumi notes the diminished commerce the »Dr. Rin« website has been experiencing as of late because of the Onmyou fortune tellers at Nikumo Temple. Against the backdrop of Asuka's attempted murder with the bus, there is not a lot to argue against this naturally being another of Takashi's traps -- a fact thus confirmed by Takashi himself. Asuka's friend Daisuke Shinagawa accidentally hits a nerve with Meirin with some tactless speculation; the irony of this sequence is that Meirin has it hinted who the cyber-bully is while Shuuko wielding Daisuke in her visit to the Temple sets the stage for Meirin to learn a traumatic truth about Takashi. After delivering a »You thoroughly disgust me!!!« slap across the chops, Meirin demands of Takashi his motives for attacking Asuka who ultimately becomes the deus ex machina for Meirin's successful escape; unfortunately, Meirin's newfound insight does not include a way to diffuse the threat of Takashi's continued attacks short of capitulating to his coercion.
