The last of the Shiki try to escape the village, but one of their own kind stands in Tatsumi's way. What fate remains for the vampires and Sotoba"the village surrounded by death"

Motoko's concerns for her father-in-law's health are brushed off as exaggerated worry, but soon her husband and children fall victim to the Shiki's curse. Wandering the bloodied streets alone amidst the panic, the shaken widow calculates her revenge.
In a flashback, a human Nao talks to Chiyomi Hasegawa and Hasegawa at their coffee shop. She happily tells them about her family and how happy that make her.
