Keiko discovers that Yuko didn't just survive the accident—she was "restored." Shizuko used an ancient occult practice to tether Yuko’s soul to a life-sized doll. However, the ritual was corrupted. Yuko has returned not as a woman, but as a "Bloodsucking Doll," a vampiric shell that requires fresh blood to keep her porcelain skin from cracking. The Final Confrontation

Keiko finds Yuko’s room perfectly preserved, smelling of incense and rotting flowers.

A local servant is found dead, his body drained of blood, bearing jagged marks on his neck.

Shizuko offers herself to her daughter to save Keiko, but Yuko’s hunger is bottomless.

As a storm cuts off the mountain road, Yuko corners Keiko in the family cellar. The line between the doll and the girl has vanished; Yuko’s joints creak like wood, and her jaw unhinges with a predatory hiss.
